[Qemu-devel] RESEND: libqemu.a is not licenced with LGPL?

[Torbjörn Andersson]

Greetings developers of QEMU!

 

As I have not received any reply for my previous post I resend it again. (I guess the topic is not that exiting for most of you)

-          Is it not the goal to license libqemu.a under LGPL?  

-          What can I expect in the future of QEMU? I have not checked any other targets than ARM, but I guess this question is valid for most targets.

 

Keep up the good work!

In the QEMU license file one can read:

In particular, the QEMU virtual CPU core library (libqemu.a) is
released under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Many hardware
device emulation sources are released under the BSD license.

and

3) The Tiny Code Generator (TCG) is released under the BSD license
(see license headers in files).

However, op_addsub.h, helpers.h and helper.c under target-arm is licensed with GPL, even explicitly in op_addsub.h.

Paul: Is your intention to license this code under GPL?
