OK, then with contribution count:

debian.com is a single trivial patch:
   
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=83f34fdcdd26c3dcc793c571e7b75c705bd92e7a

fujitsu is one trivial and one somewhat less trivial
   
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=e451db15ef6198f5d21b84618c833ac276087d70
   
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=ab438874b6a8ae955b337c36e7b3204e29b8d407

net-space.pl is Daniel Kiper (who is at Oracle now)

redhat is one simple patch (that has been reverted):
   
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=e4fd0475a08fda414da27c4e57b568f147cfc07e

ibm is one significant patch:
   
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=9fd9787b0e7995ac5f2da504b92723c24d6a3737

verge is a bunch of patches by Simon Horman who probably still is at
that address (I see a message from him on the list from lat December)

xensource and xen.org tags are all from Keir.



So it seems that we need to get permission to convert GPLv2 to LGPL from

Citrix
Intel
Suse/Novell
Oracle/Sun
Simon Horman/Verge
Keir (his commits signed from @xen.org are all from 2011, I don't know
whether that was still while he was at Citrix/Xensource)

+maybe IBM.
