-IBM Corporation allowed LGPLv2.1+ licensing of their contribution to the
-userspace RCU library.
-
-ACCESS_ONCE(), likely(), unlikely() and barrier() are considered trivial enough
-that copyright does not apply to them. I (Mathieu Desnoyers) re-typed them from
-scratch in a mail client just to prove it.
-
-Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com> approved LGPL relicensing of his patch.
-
-xchg() primitives has been rewritten from a MIT-licensed cmpxchg for Intel and
-powerpc. They are MIT-licensed and therefore usable in LGPL code.
-
-I am therefore permitted to relicense the userspace RCU library as LGPLv2.1.
