You will need to get University of Illinois and past/present LLVM developers to assign the copyright over to the FSF. Yes, you've claimed it's easy, but it needs to be done. Otherwise, we are in limbo. We cannot do anything with LLVM until this is finalized.

I would definately like to get this process running, but unfortunately it will have to wait until January. The main person I have to talk to has gone to India for Christmas, so I can't really start the process until January. Yes, I'm incredibly frustrated with this as well. :(

You, or somebody, can start the process by writing to the FSF, at assign@fsf.org, to see what forms the FSF would like to see. Ideally those forms will be acceptable to all concerned. More likely there will have to be some negotiation between the FSF and the University.
