While it's really nice they built this on open source compiler infrastructure, it's also too bad they took all the LLVM code and changed the license headers on it (additionally pretending to relicense it and changing the copyright string) when that's 100% not okay:

I'm sure it was a script, but this needs to be fixed, stat.

Sadly, not even the first time: https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/issues/35

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10018208 (which devolved into a licensing discussion)

It'd be nice if folks paid a little more attention, because for releases from large companies, stuff spreads quickly, which means a year from now, there are still likely to be "mit licensed" copies of this that are still wrong :(

And it's fixed! =]

If there's anyone reading this who's a LLVM contributor (and therefore copyright holder), can you send a DMCA notice to github over this please?

I don't get it – why use the nuclear option when you could open an issue and ask them to look into it? This may be just an oversight.

It's almost certainly an oversight, an issue is the correct course of action here. You can always resort to DCMA if that isn't effective.

I think that's pretty unlikely. Probably try to resolve it peacefully
