Although the Kernel folks did such replacements, IMHO we should be
wary about removing existing license boilerplate text, as it is
potentially in conflict with the requirements in clause 1 of the
license to keep all existing notices intact, depending on your
interpretation.

Hmmm. Do we have a specific list of criteria where this may or may not be appropriate? FWIW the NeXTCube machine was written as part of GSoC back in 2011 (https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2011#NeXT_machines_system_emulation) so I'm confident that the code was written with the intention of being upstreamed and covered by the standard GPL-v2.0 or later license used by QEMU.


ATB,

Mark.
