Thank you for the attention.  That is very important issue,
sorry that I didn't describe it explicitly.

The code is based on fs/ext2.c in grub-1.97.1 release.
I reused the file/directory iteration code from it.

Other nilfs2 specific code is writte by me from scratch.
I referred the original implementation, but have never borrowed 
any code from it.

So I'm thinking the license would be gpl3, for it is derived
from gpl3(fs/ext2.c) code.

thanks,
