I know this is a very old thread, but I thought I'd just chime in since
I just saw directly relevant info.  Google includes special stripped
down versions of the Linux headers so they can be used under "fair use".
 Here's the statement in those headers:

 This header was automatically generated from a Linux kernel header
 of the same name, to make information necessary for userspace to
 call into the kernel available to libc.  It contains only constants,
 structures, and macros generated from the original header, and thus,
 contains no copyrightable information.
