Most Xen drivers in Linux use a dual GPL/BSD license, so that they can
be imported into other non GPL OSes:

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2
as published by the Free Software Foundation; or, when distributed
separately from the Linux kernel or incorporated into other
software packages, subject to the following license:

the following conditions:

IMO it would be good to release this driver under the same license, so
it can be incorporated into other OSes.

Thanks, Roger.
