            Bug ID: 32962
           Summary: ConvertUTF.cpp is shipped with a non "University of
                    Illinois Open Source  License" compatible license
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: release blocker
          Priority: P
         Component: Support Libraries
          Assignee: unassignedb...@nondot.org
          Reporter: sylves...@debian.org
                CC: llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org

Detected by lintian, the Debian static analyzer:

lib/Support/ConvertUTF.cpp include material under a non-free
license from Unicode Inc. Therefore, it is not possible to ship this in
main or contrib.

This license does not grant any permission to modify the files (thus
failing DFSG#3). Moreover, the license grant to attempt to restrict use
to "products supporting the Unicode Standard" (thus failing DFSG#6).

In this case a solution is to use libicu and to remove this code by
repacking.
