+<p>In addition to the UIUC license, the runtime library components of LLVM

+ contributor to the code that you agree that any contributions to these
+ libraries be licensed under both licenses. We feel that this is important
+ for runtime libraries, because they are implicitly linked into applications
+ and therefore should not subject those applications to the binary
+ redistribution clause. This also means that it is ok to move code from (e.g.)
+ libc++ to the LLVM core without concern, but that code cannot be moved from
+ the LLVM core to libc++ without the copyright owner's permission.
