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?
