The mini-os code has been reviewed and gained an explicit BSD license
just now to clear this issue up.

Neither have I, but I'm willing to dig up info on this, just provide

promising to get Grub going on Xen for me. :) On the other hand, Grub
0.97 has been ported to Xen already, the code is available in the Xen
tree under stubdom/grub{.patches}, if you are willing to take a look.
