| The QEMU distribution includes both the QEMU emulator and |
| various firmware files. These are separate programs that are |
| distributed together for our users' convenience, and they have |
| separate licenses. |
| |
| The following points clarify the license of the QEMU emulator: |
| |
| 1) The QEMU emulator as a whole is released under the GNU General |
| Public License, version 2. |
| |
| 2) Parts of the QEMU emulator have specific licenses which are compatible |
| with the GNU General Public License, version 2. Hence each source file |
| contains its own licensing information. Source files with no licensing |
| information are released under the GNU General Public License, version |
| 2 or (at your option) any later version. |
| |
| As of July 2013, contributions under version 2 of the GNU General Public |
| License (and no later version) are only accepted for the following files |
| or directories: bsd-user/, linux-user/, hw/vfio/, hw/xen/xen_pt*. |
| |
| 3) The Tiny Code Generator (TCG) is released under the BSD license |
| (see license headers in files). |

| 4) QEMU is a trademark of Fabrice Bellard. |
