ACPI builder is currently distributed under GPLv2 license. We plan to make the builder available to components other than the hvmloader (which is also GPLv2). Some of these components (such as libxl) may distributed under non-GPLv2 licenses and thus we may not be able to link the builder against them. To avoid this problem we are relicensing sources in ACPI bulder directory to the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Kouya Shimura <kouya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Daniel Kiper <dkiper@xxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Simon Horman <horms@xxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Keir Fraser <keir@xxxxxxx> --- Sanity check: root@ovs104> pwd /root/xen/tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi root@ovs104> grep Public * | grep -v Lesser root@ovs104> The copyright text that I used here is a copy of what libxl uses. It does not include the GNU's last paragraph about where the license can be obtained. Not sure if it is required. I also kept the note about (non-existing) LICENSE file. I added the notice to mk_dsdt.c which didn't have any. The notice may not be required since mk_dsdt is Xen build tool and is not shipped but I added it for consistency. Here is what we might write to companies' reps from whom we are requesting approval: Xen Project is requesting you assistance in the following matter. As part of making improvements to Xen hypervisor and its toolstack we would like to make part of existing code (specifically, ACPI builder which currently resides in tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi of the Xen source tree) available via object linking to a wider range of tools. Currently ACPI builder is licensed under GPL version 2 while some of the tools that we want to link the builder to are distributed under the Lesser GPL license, version 2.1. More details can be found in https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-07/msg01367.html You have been identified as representing an organization that potentially holds copyright to the ACPI builder code (either by listing your company as copyright holder explicitly in the sources or by having your company's employee contribute to the code). We are asking you to approve the change that we are proposing. In other words, we are asking you to affirm the following: I, <name>, representing <organization>, do not have any objections to relicensing Xen code (currently residing under tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi) from GPLv2 to LGPLv2.1 Respectfully, Xen Project tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/Makefile | 18 ++++++++---------- tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/acpi2_0.h | 19 ++++++++----------- tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/build.c | 18 ++++++++---------- tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/dsdt.asl | 18 ++++++++---------- tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/mk_dsdt.c | 12 ++++++++++++ tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/ssdt_pm.asl | 11 ++++------- tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/ssdt_s3.asl | 11 ++++------- tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/ssdt_s4.asl | 11 ++++------- tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/ssdt_tpm.asl | 18 ++++++++---------- tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/static_tables.c | 18 ++++++++---------- 10 files changed, 72 insertions(+), 82 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/Makefile b/tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/Makefile index d3e882a..703d67b 100644 --- a/tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/Makefile +++ b/tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/Makefile @@ -1,17 +1,15 @@ # # Copyright (c) 2004, Intel Corporation. # -# This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it -# under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License, -# version 2, as published by the Free Software Foundation. +# This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify +# it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published +# by the Free Software Foundation; version 2.1 only. with the special +# exception on linking described in file LICENSE. # -# This program is distributed in the hope it will be useful, but WITHOUT -# ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or -# FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
