Hi Rusty,

commit 674bfc23c585b34c42263d73fb51710d49762a23
(virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementations)
added the following to the top of some headers:

  /* This header is BSD licensed so anyone can use the definitions to implement
   * compatible drivers/servers. */

What is "BSD licensed"?
- 4 clause BSD license?
- 3 clause BSD license?
- 2 clause BSD license?
- some other variant?

Please put a proper licence text there.

TIA
Adrian

Just like the description in module.h, it means asking for permission is 
wasting my time :)

Rusty.
