LLVM Developers,
We are planning to change the official Web site and CVS server for
LLVM to llvm.org starting this week. The old name (llvm.cs.uiuc.edu)
will simply become an alias for llvm.org; previously, it was the
other way around.
This change is intended to recognize and encourage the broader
community of developers that are working on LLVM. As you all know,
LLVM was initially developed as part of a research project in my
group at UIUC, funded primarily by NSF and UIUC. It has grown
tremendously and is now in active commercial use, and there are many
developers outside UIUC contributing to it. The server name change
is intended to create an open-source identity that will encourage
more external developers and companies to consider joining the effort
and contributing code, time, and resources.
The Web site will still acknowledge UIUC's support and in fact, the
underlying servers will continue to live in our research lab at
UIUC. The software copyright will also continue to be owned by
UIUC. All LLVM source code will be covered by the existing LLVM Open
Source License, unless you are explicitly notified of any changes in
this policy.
Any concerns or questions about these changes can be posted to
llvmdev, simply by replying to this message. Regards,
--Vikram Adve
