And why complicating things downstream when it can be fixed upstream?
Because it is only a legal issue? As a redistributor of OSS who cares a
lot about such issues, you have a lot of "fun" getting things right when
upstream forgot it.
I don't want to mirror Bochs source code in QEMU. That's a lot of
commit noise, and broken version control history. I'm setting up a git
repo of Bochs that contains the source we use. I'm doing this primarily
to make it more sane for us to maintain patches against Bochs and to
update the bios.bin without waiting for releases. This is also what the
FSF FAQ recommends.
It doesn't help "downstream" but it's what is most useful for us.

But as it looks like, there is a consensus on changing the situation
anyway. And up to now, no animal should have been harmed, too.
