Btw, being just binaries with LLVM license might even simplify the current process for donation of sources. Because Clank source code base is 2.6MLOC... I am not sure closed source binaries are the same thing regardless of the license. I may have misunderstood for sure. It read like Clank and the other libs sources are in Oracle and not open unlike nbjavac which I understand the sources will be available. Have I misunderstood? If so, great.
