Bug#533708: Licenses on libhugetlbfs files

I'm looking into uploading libhugetlbfs to Debian, and I wanted to
double-check a few files with ambiguous copyright or license notices.
I assume they're all intended to be LGPLv2.1+ like the rest of the
package but they're not labeled as such.

* huge_page_setup_helper.py is labeled just "(c) Red Hat, Inc., 2009,"
but does not have a license statement. Jarod, can this be used under
LGPLv2.1+?

Well now that's a blast from the past. It should have been licensed under the same license as whatever the rest or bulk of the libhugetlbfs code was under at the time it was included. LGPLv2.1+ sounds perfectly acceptable to me.
