Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] minios: replace mktime implementation



You should also take a look at minios/arch/x86/x86_64.S. It is remarkably similar to linux/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S. Some comments, macros names etc. are identical. It's obvious that both files share a common ancestor, at least.

I used minios as a starting point to port a proprietary OS from a proprietary CPU to x86_64 on Xen at my last job, and we became concerned about whether this file was contaminated with GPL code.

Hi all,
in the efforts to clarify MiniOS license it came to my attention that
few portions of MiniOS were taken from other GPL projects, one of them
is the mktime implementation.
This patch replaces the current GPL licensed mktime implementation with a
different and BSD licensed version.
