Because in all likelihood, the files were copied from xen/include/public and then the COPYING file https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=blob;f=xen/include/public/COPYING applies, which states that everything in this directory is MIT, unless stated otherwise in the file. > > So as long as someone confirms that the files in OvmfPkg/Include came from xen/include/public, this is a clear case of a MIT license > If they are files from other directories in Xen, check the COPYING file in the original directory (or if there is none in the parent directory) and check the COPYING file > > I am not so clear about where the files in XenBusDxe came from, but the same principle applies. > > If someone groups these files by "original directory in Xen" to File ... I am happy to do a final sanity check and sign it off and/or deal with any unclear cases Replacing MIT license blocks with SPDX identifiers is something we should do later -- I think it's out of scope for Mike's current patch series, it's just something I noticed and pointed out for the future, while I was verifying the "license block -> SPDX ID" replacements for 2-BSDL (i.e., *not* MIT). Mike mentioned that he was going to file a number of TianoCore BZs as a result of the discussion in this thread. Mike, can you please file one for the MIT->SPDX "refactoring" (under OvmfPkg) as well? If not, I can file it myself later, I just wouldn't like us to end up with duplicates. Once we have that separate BZ, we can discuss it in isolation. Thanks Laszlo
