From 674bfc23c585b34c42263d73fb51710d49762a23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:06:03 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementations We want others to implement and use virtio, so it makes sense to BSD license the non-__KERNEL__ parts of the headers to make this crystal clear.
