It is a good point that we don't really talk about licensing
implications around binary convenience artifacts on that page
(although we do have a number of LEGAL JIRAs). It is not just llvm,
but we also don't really talk about class-path exceptions in detail,
nor do we talk about GNU's GCC Runtime Library Exception and there are
a few others that come to mind right away.

Part of me wants to propose we have a separate section of that page
dedicated to use-cases like that, but part of me feels that the page
is too long already.

Historically, we haven't really paid too much attention to the binary
convenience artifacts anyway -- so that perpetuates the status quo.

At any rate, Bertrand, if you feel strongly about this -- perhaps a
discussion on legal-discuss@ is warranted.

Thanks,
Roman.
