I don't see anyone saying that the current situation is unacceptable. We
have special rules around runtime libraries right now to try and address
these issues, and we're discussing how they might be addressed with a
single license going forward (with the advantages listed in Chris's email).


I also think questions about how specific companies are handling specific
products' license compliance requirements (including any part of LLVM's
requirements) should be directed to the company so that whatever lawyers
represent that company can respond with accurate details. That seems much
more like a discussion about a company and a product than an interesting
discussion about the right path forward for LLVM's license.
