We have just managed to change the license under which llvm/libc++ is released. It is now dual licensed under *both* the UIUC and MIT license. The code can be used under either license (see the top of the file), LICENSE.txt contains the full wording of both licenses. The MIT license does not contain the binary redistribution clause.
More details here:
http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license
It is our hope that this will ease the concerns expressed here regarding compatibility with the boost license.
That is good news for boost.
+1. Thank you so much Howard. So if I want to use a file from llvm/libc++ in Boost I need to preserv the llvm/libc++ comment. //===-------------------------- finename ----------------------------------===// // // The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure // // This file is dual licensed under the MIT and the University of Illinois Open // Source Licenses. See LICENSE.TXT for details. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Should I add the LICENSE.TXT file? and if yes,where it should be placed?
