ARM Limited license agreement from the copyright/patent holder

I have prepared some patches for LLVM OpenMP runtime, mostly addressing
ARMv8 support. Before I upstream them, I must address legal issues that
arose around my planned contribution. I was advised that before I send any
substantial commit, I need to make sure that LICENSE.txt file in the projects
repository contains a statement submitted by ARM, similar to the one provided
by Intel (see "a license agreement from the copyright/patent holders"). This is
the same situation as with top-level LLVM project: ARM has provided the same
statement in http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/lib/Target/ARM/LICENSE.TXT file.

Software Grant License Agreement ("Agreement")
Except for the license granted herein to you, ARM Limited ("ARM") reserves all
right, title, and interest in and to the Software (defined below).
Definition
"Software" means the code and documentation as well as any original work of
authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that
is intentionally submitted by ARM to llvm.org (http://llvm.org) ("LLVM") for
inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the products owned or managed by LLVM
(the "Work"). For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of
electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to LLVM or its
representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic
mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are
managed by, or on behalf of, LLVM for the purpose of discussing and improving
the Work, but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked otherwise.
1. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, ARM hereby grants to you and to recipients of the Software
distributed by LLVM a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative
works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the

to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer
the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
by ARM that are necessarily infringed by ARM's Software alone or by
combination of the Software with the Work to which such Software was
submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against ARM or any
other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
that ARM's Software, or the Work to which ARM has contributed constitutes
direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted
to that entity under this Agreement for the Software or Work shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed.
Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, the software is
