LICENSE.txt still says "The LLVM Project" - leftover or intentional?
#171
Small thing I noticed while reading through the repo: LICENSE.txt looks like a straight copy of llvm-project's LICENSE.TXT. All 234 of its lines are byte-identical to lines in the LLVM file, the only difference being that the legacy University of Illinois/NCSA section at the end was dropped. So it still opens with "The LLVM Project is under the Apache License v2.0 with LLVM Exceptions:", and the third-party section at the end still says "Software from third parties included in the LLVM Project". No mention of EDG anywhere in the file. The same file is also served at https://edgcpp.org/LICENSE.txt (identical SHA256).
Meanwhile the per-file headers and SPDX tags all say "Part of the EDG Compiler Project ... SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception", so it looks like the source files got rebranded but LICENSE.txt was left as it came.
Is that a leftover from copying the LLVM template, or deliberate? Doesn't look like it changes anything about the terms themselves, but the LLVM naming in a project that is not LLVM reads a bit odd. Happy to send a two-line PR rewording those bits if you would like.
