-Licensing Exceptions (the relaxed BSD-style license)
-----------------------------------------------------

-For the convenience of users and those who are porting OSes to run as
-Xen guests, certain files in this repository are not subject to the
-GPL when distributed separately or included in software packages
-outside this repository. Instead we specify a much more relaxed
-BSD-style license. Affected files include the Xen interface headers
-(xen/include/public/COPYING), and various drivers, support functions
-and header files within the Linux sparse source trees. In all such
-cases, license terms are stated at the top of the file or in a COPYING
-file in the same directory. Note that _any_ file that is modified and
-then distributed within a Linux kernel is still subject to the GNU GPL.

+This is the header of Xen 3.0 upstream COPYING file which clarifies a bit how
+the licence is meant to be applied. The file continues with the complete text
+of the GNU General Public Licence version 2, which is not included here as it
+can be found on Debian GNU/Linux systems in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'.

+ XEN NOTICE
+ ==========
+
+This license does *not* cover guest operating systems that use
+Xen services via normal hypercalls - this is merely considered normal
+use of Xen, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
+Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
+Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Xen
+virtual machine monitor) is copyrighted by me and others who actually
+wrote it.
+
+Further note that the guest-OS interfacing header files, which
+includes all files within the subdirectory include/public, are
+*not* covered by the GPL but by a much weaker license:
+ include/public/COPYING
+
+Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as Xen is
+concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (i.e., *only*
+v2, not v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise
+stated.
