You picked up the original one, not the one covering the GNU Mach fork. Currently, you're required to assign copyright of your contributions to the FSF. The slab allocator did not originate from GNU Mach and its history is a bit messy. It is really not a good template for contributions. -- Richard Braun

I don't know much about licenses, I copied this from kern/slab.c. It doesn't make a difference to me what license it is as long as it has this 'lack of warranty' text.

Why not e.g. a GPL licence, even if this function is good it might not be accepted due to this.
