I think parts of its code are based on the Linux kvm kernel bits
so I guess those authors would have to agree too besides the
Luvalley author... (The linux kernel is only gplv2 tho not gplv3
and it seems Linus wants it to stay that way.)
Oh and also IANAL but since the Luvalley `kernel' (hypervisor)
runs on bare metal and boots any dom0 kernel/os (i.e. Linux or
FreeBSD) pretty much the same way how a pc bios boots them I
somehow doubt it would `taint' the FreeBSD kernel. (And the dom0
kernel also doesn't need any patches, you only then run the Luvalley
version of qemu-kvm in the dom0's userland.)
HTH,
Juergen
