[llvm-foundation] Status of re-license?

Tue Jul 28 05:51:58 PDT 2020

The process is still in progress. The online documentation is accurate.
Well, except for the January 2019 date.  It would be good to update that to a more sensible target.

Hi, I'd like to make a contribution.  As it is currently written, I do not understand the requirements for being able to contribute a patch.

And there is no indication that this has been completed.  On this page<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/llvm.org/foundation/relicensing/__;!!JmoZiZGBv3RvKRSx!tTB6fptPB67Jr1XkdBJ1hFHiXdGmACITgQwclIU7qFlG5RHS61Gh0seceHmd_yEI8g$>, at the bottom, it says that the aim is to have this completed by January 2019.  If it has been completed, I don't think it has been communicated well, because all public facing documentation still refers to it being in progress.

The process is still in progress. The online documentation is accurate.

Could you offer some guidance on what the current status of the re-license is and how I should communicate this to my company's legal department?
