Isn't our position that the relicensing has not happened yet, that the
SPDX identifiers in the sources are incorrect, and that the project
still distributes the sources under the old LLVM license (called “NCSA”
in the Fedora framework)?
Separately from that issue, I am aware of one unresolved (for my team
at Red Hat) longstanding objection to some aspects of the language of
the LLVM exception (raised by at least one person outside of Red Hat).
I wouldn't want to classify the exception as "good" without reaching
some sort of resolution on that issue.
