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.
