The intention of the whole vmwgfx module is to be dual GPL-2 OR MIT licensed whenever possible. It looks like the vmware_pack* files have a MIT-style license already?

The vmwgfx_msg.h file is GPL, but I think that's based on an earlier version of the file that has now been completely replaced by code that's copied from an already MIT-licenced file in the mesa project.

Since we hold the copyright to that file and AFAICT there are no other contributors, we should re-licence that file to GPL-2 / MIT.
