I have issue with this, files without licenses are just that files
without licenses.
If we believe this (and it seems a logical thing to believe)
then QEMU's not distributable until we rewrite or remove or track
down all authors for all the files without licenses...
Yes.
That can only be true if those files are older than LICENSE,
or at least older than the commit which added
"QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License". (2007)
Any file or contribution which was added later (with or without a
license clause)
cannot invalidate this general license, so QEMU remains distributable.
Nevertheless fixing files without explicit license is desirable,
of course.
