[Xen-devel] [PATCH] acpi: Re-license ACPI builder files from GPLv2 to LGPLv2.1



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 be distributed under LGPL-2.1
so that they can be used by non-GPLv2 callers.  But this
will not be possible if we incorporate the ACPI builder in
those other components.

To avoid this problem we are relicensing sources in ACPI
bulder directory to the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL)
version 2.1
