That's rather worrying. Which parts did you see that were not written from scratch ? The Signed-Off-By line that appears in these patches is supposed to be the poster certifying the origin of the code. See the `Developers Certificate of Origin', below: It would be a violation of the original copyright to cut-and-paste code from the Linux kernel, remove the copyright notices, and post it here. When code is submitted for inclusion in Xen, but was obtained from some other source, that source should be clearly identified so that the origin can be traced, credit given, and so on.
