include/asm-powerpc: explicit GPLv2 include/asm-s390: explicit GPLv2 include/asm/x86: no license mentioned include/linux/kvm*: no license mentioned include/linux/vhost: no license mentioned include/linux/virtio*: "BSB" The last group already popped up here during a license clearing of the kernel. I contacted Rusty on them and got the answer "Standard 3 clause. The 4 clause is incompatible with the GPL." That was OK for our purposes, but I nevertheless asked Rusty to push a clarifying sentence to the kernel - unfortunately this did not happen so far.
