Hi Fedora legal,

the code mentioned by Elena is not yet available in the git repo, but there seems to be earlier code there.

In both repositories there's a commit titled "Finish GPL/CDDL splitting work". It seems to me that Oracle plans to at least make the kernel part GPL, and thereby increase the chances of merging this upstream.

Did anybody from Fedora legal take a look or consider including that in a future release?

From a Fedora kernel perspective, we aren't going to add this unless it is in

the upstream Linux kernel. Having legal spend time looking at something like that now would be somewhat premature.
