It arose in a comment that I can't seem to get phab to show me the context for (which is a bit strange, I don't think I've run into that before): https://reviews.llvm.org/D36836#877636 Perhaps part of this was carrying discussion over from the IRC channel? > Would have it been fine if i based this on the open-source-licensed code? I believe that would require legal analysis to answer. > Would have it not been? Would same license question be raised? Likewise here (I suspect the answer would depend on what the license of the open source code is). > Somehow i don't think it would have been.

I am sorry and I agree that it's frustrating. As far as I know, this captures the current state of affairs: https://reviews.llvm.org/D36836#1031600 and basically we're waiting for help from the foundation to clear the last hurdle.
