<p>Contributions must not knowingly infringe on any patents. To the best of
our knowledge, LLVM is free of any existing patent violations and it is our
intent to keep it that way.</p>
<p>To the best of our knowledge, LLVM does not infringe on any patents (we have
actually removed code from LLVM in the past that was found to infringe).
Having code in LLVM that infringes on patents would violate the one of the
goals of the project by making it hard or impossible to reuse the code for
arbitrary purposes.</p>
<p>When contributing code, we expect contributors to notify us of any potential
for patent-related trouble with their changes. If you own the rights to a
patent and would like to contribute code to LLVM that relies on it, we
require that you sign an agreement that allows any other user of LLVM to
freely use your patent. Please contact the <a
href="mailto:llvm-oversight@cs.uiuc.edu">oversight group</a> for more
details.</p>
