The license includes a clause at the bottom specifically calling out that there are subprojects that are either include a specific license header or contain a license.txt. It's probably not beneficial or desirable to add additional legal guidance outside of the license (as they could contradict or lead to misunderstandings).

That's fair. The blurb in the license says it's for "Software from third parties included in the LLVM Project"; I wanted to ensure it's not misinterpreted as only applicable to LLVM and not this specific Project.
