Dear Sirs,
I'm writing here to ask public clarifications from the licensing point
of view about the code that I've ported from Grub1 in IllumOS to Grub2.
The original code is contained in those two commits:
https://hg.openindiana.org/upstream/illumos/illumos-gate/rev/2889e2596bd6 [Patch
2/5; 3/5; 4/5]
https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/a6f561b4aee75d0d028e7b36b151c8ed8a86bc76
[Patch 5/5].
Respectively authored by Christopher Siden and Sašo Kiselkov.
The code in the patch 1/5 "Fix reporting of RAIDZ vdevs in zfsinfo" is
originally written by me.
I've used only code under the path " usr/src/grub/grub-0.97/".
Those files include the license header "This program is free software;
you can redistribute it and/or modifyit under the terms of the GNU
General Public License as published bythe Free Software Foundation;
either version 2 of the License, or(at your option) any later version."
or include the BSD 2-clause license
(usr/src/grub/grub-0.97/stage2/zfs_lz4.c).
This fact made me assume that there are no licensing problems, however
to ease the merging procedure, a public statement (on the grub-devel
mailing list, as requested from the mantainer) from the original authors
of the code about the legality of this porting would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Massimo Maggi
