In this case, the changes are minor enough and obviously
hardware-compatibility-related, but this might be relevant in case of
more significant changes: would there be any licensing issue involved
in a patch submitted for DragonFly being  based on examination of
OpenSolaris code? Would the files touched by the fact becomes
CDDL-licensed?

Thanks,
