LPGL2 specifically allows applying GPL2 terms, so this is an easy fix that doesn't require us to get permission from anybody... > Relicense to GPLv2+ while we're at it. ...so why tie it to a change that does require everybody to engage the (potentially ponderous and slow) legal machinery required to do a relicensing? It gains us nothing as far as I can see because (as we've already established) there's basically zero chance that QEMU will go GPL2+ in future; we have too much 2-only code. thanks -- PMM
