As a binary as a whole QEMU is GPLv2, because that is the most restrictive and thus the controlling license. Individual source files are under a variety of licenses, which is fine as long as those licenses are GPL-2-compatible. We have a preference against 2-only (see the LICENSE file), and also you should at least use a license we're already using. GPL2-or-later is fine and a common choice. > btw for trivial patches like this, cover letter is not necessary . The rough rule is "single patches don't need a cover letter; series of more than one patch always do." thanks -- PMM
