GRUB is entirely licensed under GPL.

This is what I had in mind: one multiboot module should provide support for both. Multiboot Specification version 2 is (and must be) a superset of features found in version 0.x. So we should implement support version 2 first, and "translate" Multiboot information if a kernel is for version 0.x.
