The notice in the COPYING file in "xen/include/public/COPYING" doesn't really apply to the files that ultimately are been install at "/usr/include/xen". The issue are headers in the "sys/" subdirectory that comes from other projects such as Linux or FreeBSD. The main issue is that there are two headers that have a different licence than the MIT licence: - xen-sys/Linux/gntalloc.h (installed as "sys/gntalloc.h") is public domain. - xen-sys/FreeBSD/gntdev.h (installed as "sys/gntdev.h") is BSD-2. To clarify this, we'll install a COPYING file with a different notice.
