Quickly scanning some of the files I found some GPLed and some under a weird IBM license (which allows redistribution).
I didn't find anything which does not permit redistribution. Maybe you can point me in the right direction?
CC'ing Itamar who can maybe give some insight into virtio-win licenses.
I don't remember the specifics on this one, but the virtio-win drivers (available on alt.fedoraproject.org) can be freely redistributed.

Per the RH docs, a RHN subscription is necessary for the virtio-win package.
well the ovirt-project[1] will provide this package "soon" (tm).
meanwhile you could try the following: (this is a quote from the ovirt-users ML)
download the src rpm from http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/RHOS/SRPMS/ build the rpm rpmbuild --rebuild virtio-win-1.6.8-4.el6.src.rpm install the rpm rpm -Uhv ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/virtio-win-1.6.8-4.el6.noarch.rpm
I didn't test it myself, so I don't know if it really works, but "it should" (ymmv).
That is what I was looking for. I never thought to look there. Thank you.
PS: ovirt is the upstream project of red hat enterprise virtualization it would be cool to see some integration work with the centos virt sig!
I agree that would be nice but as I read the license, it cannot be redistributed. Obviously, Red Hat can do as they wish, since it is already on the ovirt site. I wonder if they will extend that to CentOS?
OTOH, it is trivial to build the rpm, so I am not sure it is worth putting lot of effort into it. The hard part was finding the src.rpm and that was only hard because I was looking in the wrong place.
