Some noncommentary development resumed 4 months ago after the importation o= f the source code into the SBT build environment. Since then, check-in com= ments such as =E2=80=9CSome work on the LLVM code generator.

I cannot find a license stated anywhere regarding Augusta (although I have = only done spot-checking here & there). Under which license is Augusta dist= ributed? With Augusta intended to be the OpenWatcom Ada Compiler (WAC) as = stated in the webpage linked below, I would assume that the OpenWatcom lice= nse would be utilized for Augusta, although the LLVM-backend activity in re= cent months instead of the expected OpenWatcom-backend activity might indic= ate a change away from this intent to be the WAC. https://github.com/pchapin/augusta/tree/master/wac
