Attribution when distributing binaries linked with wild? #1856

@garpin7

Description

@garpin7

The MIT license and Apache 2.0 license require attribution. If I link a C executable with wild, do I have to include the wild license files when distributing the binaries? (if the C standard libraries are not included)

The LLVM linker uses the Apache 2.0 license with the LLVM exceptions, which says that attribution isn't needed:

As an exception, if, as a result of your compiling your source code, portions
of this Software are embedded into an Object form of such source code, you
may redistribute such embedded portions in such Object form without complying
with the conditions of Sections 4(a), 4(b) and 4(d) of the License.

The wild licenses don't have such exceptions.
