It's obviously derived
Well, kvm-all.c really isn't. There are maybe a few snippets (mainly if clauses) that came from qemu-kvm but not enough to be considered derived IMHO. kvm.c on the other hand contains enough that I would think it is derived (and I preserved the original copyright from qemu-kvm-x86.c).
At any rate, as I said previously, Avi should agree before changing the license of any of it.
from current kvm code. That said, libkvm.c is version 2, and qemu-kvm.c is v2+. I'm not sure if there's any legal restriction on the final product anthony should follow.
Ah, I missed the or-higher part in qemu-kvm.c. I'll update the next round of patches to reflect that. I don't care either way honestly, I just copied the copyright from somewhere else.
