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>

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>

further clarification is needed.</p>
