Swift's LLVM fork is open-source, just not upstreamed. No Free Software license requires forks to upstream their changes.

Referring to their fork as "private" seems quite misleading then.
Yet you're complaining that they are using the licence exactly as they feel like.
Parent was not complaining. Parent was asking what the rationale is behind maintaining a separate LLVM fork instead of upstreaming and reducing the maintenance burden on Apple engineers.
