Bug #12848
Clarify bhyve's dual license
100%
Description
The illumos bhyve port originally began as a code drop from Pluribus, which they agreed would be released under the CDDL. Quite a bit of this code was from FreeBSD itself, bearing its own 2-clause BSD license. Throughout the continued porting and update process, Joyent chose to dual-license subsequent updates under both the CDDL and 2-clause BSD. Files which were pure additions (rather than those shared with FreeBSD bhyve) should be made to reflect that nature in their copyright attribution.

Being a comments-only change, I ran this through a build to do wsdiff(1) and saw only the expected churn. There were text changes to the vmm module, but they were due to __LINE__ being incremented in asserts.
