> OpenBSD begrudgingly made an exception for LLVM/Clang […] Licensing is not the problem here

If it isn’t a problem, why do you say “begrudgingly”?

I think they are pragmatic but also do find it a problem. Why else would they say “source code published under version 2 of the Apache license is subject to additional restrictions and cannot be included into OpenBSD”?

I didn't say it wasn't a problem. I said it was not the problem here. Important distinction.

Licensing is not the reason for the sanitizers not being enabled in the default build, a lot of stuff isn't. If it were supported, it would probably be delegated to the ports version, along with the analyzer, additional llvm tools, cross-compiling, etc.
