[Xen-devel] [PATCH] hvmloader: relicense hvmloader xenbus implementation under more liberal terms
# HG changeset patch # User Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> # Date 1312980801 -3600 # Node ID 9a0dd05832c7d34afba10fe0b24c8aeb3ad86fee # Parent ea81fb95b86066f38962b8d80b2f4dafae4c30ca hvmloader: relicense hvmloader xenbus implementation under more liberal terms. This code is a great example of a simple xenbus implementation and we would like to reuse it in projects with non-GPLv2 license (specifically in this case SeaBIOS which is GPLv3). I picked the license from extras/mini-os/COPYING (A two clause BSD style license) since mini-os exists for much the same purpose. This change has been Acked in principal by Tim and Keir (who are the only people to have touched this file). But I would like to have their Acks of the specific change before committing.
