I think it's not possible for all contributions. The BSD-like license
can not be removed from a file once it's there. So, the contributions
made to such file do inherit this license, unless they have other
license written directly in the source code. (This is btw, why you
still have to fix the license violation [1,2] happened in 2010).
Moreover, there are explicit places in QEMU source tree [3] which say
BSD-like is the only acceptable license.
