This is a license different from Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception.
Therefore, the process described at 
https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#copyright-license-and-patents should 
be followed to check whether this is acceptable in this specific case.

That being said, xxhash is already present under 
[llvm/lib/Support/xxhash.cpp](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/21eeca3db0341fef4ab4a6464ffe38b2eba5810c/llvm/lib/Support/xxhash.cpp#L163),
 as you pointed out in the 
[RFC](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-emulated-pac/85557).

Making sure we don't have multiple copies of non-Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception 
code would be preferable. I'll tag @beanz, as he had ideas about how to better 
structure vendored third party code in LLVM.

I'm not sure if moving non-Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception licensed code to a 
run-time library (for the first time?) triggers new concerns.

I'll note that other hashing algorithms, such as 
[Blake3](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/21eeca3db0341fef4ab4a6464ffe38b2eba5810c/llvm/include/llvm/Support/BLAKE3.h#L1)
 and 
[SipHash](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/21eeca3db0341fef4ab4a6464ffe38b2eba5810c/llvm/lib/Support/SipHash.cpp#L1),
 which are available under the Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception, are also already 
present in the LLVM Support library.
Would one of these preferably-licensed hashing algorithms be a good fit for the 
hashing functionality needed for this use case?
