Correct, this is explicitly stated in the LICENSE file: [quote] 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*.

Ideally we would get all QEMU CXL contributors to agree to re-license to the GPL-2.0-or-later, unless the code has been copied from another project which was GPL-2.0-only thus forcing our code. > > Acked-by: Ira Weiny <ira.we...@intel.com> > > Going forward I'd like to better understand the qemu communities view. Please follow the LICENSE file which is explicit about QEMU's views per the quoted text above.
