Rafael,
It is my understanding that Apache 2.0 licensed code will not be
integrated into OpenBSD under the current copyright policy:
https://www.openbsd.org/policy.html
This is problematic given that the default compiler on amd64 and i386
was just changed to clang:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=150109829003860
OpenBSD developers have previously made their position clear during
this discussion:

That said, Chris and others have made it clear that the relicensing
process will proceed as planned. LLVM will most likely be forked.
