RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Florian Weimer 2020-08-05 16:10:33 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1866468 +++

LLVM has been relicensed to ASL 2.0 with exceptions, so

License: NCSA

is no longer correct. There is a discussion here about the appropriate tag:

<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4OT2CHT3UX7AYI7LDK4YFZEU3QIDZKPY/>

I think relicensings like this should also be announced on the devel list.

Comment 1 Tilmann Scheller 2020-08-05 17:35:39 UTC

There is an ongoing effort to relicense LLVM (and related projects) under the Apache 2.0 with LLVM Exception license (see https://llvm.org/foundation/relicensing), however that process will still take a long time to be completed. The assessment that LLVM has been relicensed already is incorrect. What has happened is that the LLVM contribution policy has changed a while ago to require any new contributions to be under both NCSA as well as Apache 2.0 with LLVM Exception (see https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#id32). This means that the entirety of LLVM is still under the NCSA license (details here: https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#id34) and as such the current license description in the spec file is still accurate. Since the completion of the relicensing is still far out in the future I'll go ahead and close this bug. Please let me know if you have any questions.
