This is apparently GPLv2 code, per COPYING in the source tarball at

  http://www.ksplice.com/dist/ksplice-0.9.7-src.tar.gz

There is a git repository at

  http://www.ksplice.com/git/ksplice.git

So (assuming it works as advertised, which I have not tested at all!) 
Ubuntu/Canonical could use this to run its own equivalent update 
service(s), or incorporate it into apt, or into postinst scripts in 
kernel update .debs, or whatever is actually appropriate.
