Our mirror repositories contain vim scripts and textmate grammars, neither of which have any need for the LLVM exception, so we can use the base Apache 2.0 license there with no loss of relevant permissions. This is a compatible license, so providing these repositories under these license terms is valid. Other than removing the LLVM exception, the new license file has one other change compared to LICENSE: the amount of whitespace on some lines is reduced from four spaces to three. This makes the new license *exactly* match the Apache 2.0 license, byte-for-byte. This is important because the license checking done by GitHub's linguist project doesn't recognize Apache-2.0-with-LLVM-exception as an acceptable license, but does allow plain Apache-2.0.
