    Of course it does.  It gives them the choice of using excellent free
    software.

You have misinterpreted my statement.  LLVM is free software, but it
does not defend users' freedom because only copyleft does that.

Remember that my statement was made in a specific context: LLVM's
practices regarding copyright assignment.  Since they do not maintain
a copyleft, they also don't take the steps necessary to uphold the
copyleft.
