| 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 mostly under the BSD or MIT licenses; | |
| but some parts may be GPLv2 or other licenses. Again, see the | |
| specific licensing information in each source file. | |
| 4) QEMU is a trademark of Fabrice Bellard. | |
