the LLVM project has moved to an Apache Software License 2.0 with exception
license, referenced as https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/LICENSE.TXT
Some more details are available here:
https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#new-llvm-project-license-framework
Does it make sense to have it listed in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses and the
associated short name be compatible with, say, rpmdiff?
Isn't our position that the relicensing has not happened yet, that the
SPDX identifiers in the sources are incorrect, and that the project
still distributes the sources under the old LLVM license (called “NCSA”
in the Fedora framework)?
Separately from that issue, I am aware of one unresolved (for my team
at Red Hat) longstanding objection to some aspects of the language of
the LLVM exception (raised by at least one person outside of Red Hat).
I wouldn't want to classify the exception as "good" without reaching
some sort of resolution on that issue.

just saw this after I wrote my email. That's interesting and a bit
surprising - I'd be curious to hear more about what the objection is
(and especially since I know LLVM got a lot of feedback when they were
drafting it!)
