I noticed this change and it made me wonder...

So, what will the final license/copyright be ? There's precious little text here now.

Is there, or will there, be some cohesive mapping of licensing boundaries ? That is,
POSIX provides a clean API and licensing boundary for user programs. The hypervisor
states (somewhere, I think) ahout it's boundary with callers. Are these changes
to copyright/license following a plan ? I assume that they are, and would like
to understand the overall plan for which systems/subsystems/components are
to be under what license.

Thanks,
-b
