[Spice-devel] [PATCH] qxl licence: add WDK clarification

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi,

This patch updates the licence text of the windows qxl driver.  It adds
a paragraph clarifying that the WDK Code qualifies for the system
library exception in the GPL.

This follows the licensing model the virtio windows drivers are using.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/kvm-guest-drivers-windows.git;a=blob;f=viostor/LICENSE;h=808dba85afaccc31dac21863d2cd4dd4a3b7d29f;hb=HEAD

cheers,
  Gerd

PS: This patch updates just one file to not spam the list,
    the real patch will update all files of course and also
    add the GPLv2 COPYING file referenced in the text.
