I don't recall seeing any GPL reference to the drivers. In the RHEL
virtio-win iso there's a text file with a Redhat License and a notice that
you can buy the source code for $10; in the Fedora one there's one which is
almost the same.

I think this is a good workaround to make the source available but still
certify the drivers.
