I wish LLVM would switch to the Boost license, in particular removing this clause: "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimers in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution." Reading it adversely means if I write a simple utility and include a few lines from LLVM, I have to include that license in the binary and a means to print it out. If I include a bit of code from several places, each with their own version of that license, there's just a bunch of crap to deal with to be in compliance.
Then add the license info to a "readme" or "copyright" file. Is that really such a hassle? It seems a trivial task to me. For example:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/COPYRIGHT (that file is included in the binary distributions) -- Bruno Medeiros https://twitter.com/brunodomedeiros
