"inspired" in a licensing consistent way?
pciutils is licensed under GPL2 (e.g.
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git/tree/COPYING) so
this would be consistent.
libxl is LGPL 2.1 not GPL2, and I'm afraid transitioning code in that
direction is not allowed by the license.
I didn't realize libxl was licensed differently from the rest of Xen.
The code is not really coped from them (save for one-line comment) and
it's kind of hard to write it any differently, given that it's only a
few lines. The only reason I mentioned it was because I was parsing
/proc/bus/pci/devices before and while debugging some other problem
noticed that pciutils was using /sys/bus/pci/devices, which is slightly
better.
Perhaps I should get in touch with pciutils copyright holder to see if
he objects.
