Given the DMD licensing situation, nobody will (or should) even look inside the DMD repo for info. Especially that "backend" string is really scary. I decided to blindly trust your words above, and, with trembling hands, somehow managed to click that link. Phew. That file really appears to be boost licensed.
Even if cv8.c was locked up tight with licensing, the CV8 file format itself would not be covered by such license. CV8 is not a Digital Mars file format, it's a Microsoft format.
Now, if Microsoft decided to assert some sort of IP control over the CV8 format in order to prevent LLVM from generating CV8 format, whether I implemented CV8 in LLVM or the LLVM did would make no difference. I have no authority over Microsoft licensing issues and don't speak for Microsoft on them.
