Hello, while verifying that l4ka-pistachio code is indeed free of GPL, I've stumbled across the files: l4ka-pistachio/user/contrib/elf-loader/include/elf.h l4ka-pistachio/user/contrib/elf-loader/include/multiboot.h which are GPLv2 (doh!). Wouldn't it make sense to replace elf.h with, say, (FreeBSD)/usr/include/sys/elf_common.h (FreeBSD)/usr/include/sys/elf32.h (FreeBSD)/usr/include/sys/elf64.h from the FreeBSD source tree, which *are* BSD-licensed? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/elf_common.h http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/elf32.h http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/elf64.h Same for multiboot.h with NetBSD's version: (NetBSD)/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/include/multiboot.h http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/arch/i386/include/multiboot.h Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
