might arise from the distributed nature of LLVM's development. By stating
the policy in clear terms, we hope each developer can know ahead of time
what to expect when making LLVM contributions.</p>
<p>This policy is also designed to accomplish the following objectives:</p>
<ol>
<li>Attract both users and developers to the LLVM project.</li>
<li>Make life as simple and easy for contributors as possible.</li>
<li>Indicate that LLVM is a mature project with a thriving community and
sensible policies directing its ongoing development.</li>

<li>Patches should not include differences in generated code such as the
code generated by <tt>flex</tt>, <tt>bison</tt> or <tt>tblgen</tt>. The
<tt>utils/mkpatch</tt> utility takes care of this for you.</li>
<li>Patches must not include any patent violations. To the best of our
knowledge, LLVM is free of any existing patent violations and it is our
intent to keep it that way. </li>

commercial products to be derived from LLVM with few restrictions and
without a requirement for making any derived works also open source. We
suggest that you read the
without a requirement for making any derived works also open source (i.e.
LLVM' license is not a <i>copyleft</i> license). We suggest that you read the
<a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/UoI-NCSA.php">License</a> if
further clarification is needed.</p>
