==========
This copyright applies to all files within this subdirectory and its
subdirectories:
include/public/*.h
include/public/hvm/*.h
include/public/io/*.h
The intention is that these files can be freely copied into the source
tree of an operating system when porting that OS to run on Xen. Doing
so does *not* cause the OS to become subject to the terms of the GPL.
All other files in the Xen source distribution are covered by version
2 of the GNU General Public License except where explicitly stated
otherwise within individual source files.
"
Having the libxenvchan.h as Lesser GPL v2.1 where the COPYING file
says otherwise is confusing to say at least.
Upon consulting with the authors of libxenvchan they said:
"FWIW Neither I, nor ITL staff (as author of original libvchan library)
have anything against converting it to the BSD-style licence."
(Marek Marczykowski-Górecki,

so as such lets change it.

Wei points out that this ought also to include Keir Fraser's
contribution, which was (only) in 2012.
