I think we're OK as long as we keep the BSD-ish license on these files? That way changes made to these files (only) would be under the same license as nbdkit. Of course we end up with a franken-license but at least it's not as bad as QEMU (!) and the whole thing should still be LGPLv2+ (AIUI/IANAL/E&OE/...)
