According to commit 2f5f89963186d42a7ded253bc6cf5b32abb45cec ("Remove
the advertising clause from the slirp license"), Danny Gasparovski
gave permission to license slirp code under 3-clause BSD license:

I have no objection to having Slirp code in QEMU be licensed under
the 3-clause BSD license.
slirp/COPYRIGHT's initial version in 2004 (commit 5fafdf24) listed
only 3 clauses BUT used the poisonous advertising clause for clause 3
which is the controversial clause of non-free 4-clause (that is, it
appears that the BSD-4 license was copied, and then the WRONG clause
was deleted, when creating COPYRIGHT. Perhaps explained as an easy
mistake to make since 3-clause was created by removing clause 3 of the
4-clause, where you sometimes see the three-clause version with
clauses 1, 2, 4; but more commonly see a renumbered version with
clauses 1, 2, 3 to close the gap. If you pay attention only to clause
numbers instead of content, it can be easy to confuse which clause to
delete to go from 4-clause to 3-clause).
Commit 2f5f89963 removed the poisonous wrong clause on
the grounds of moving from 4-clause to 3-clause; but did not add the
missing clause, which makes it LOOK like the 2-clause version. But I
think we have a decent enough trail showing the intent for 3-clause.

Slirp is free software; "free" as in you don't have to pay for it, and you
|

are free to do whatever you want with it. I do not accept any donations,
|

monetary or otherwise, for Slirp. Instead, I would ask you to pass this
|
|
potential donation to your favorite charity. In fact, I encourage
|
|
*everyone* who finds Slirp useful to make a small donation to their
|
|
favorite charity (for example, GreenPeace). This is not a requirement, but
|
|
a suggestion from someone who highly values the service they provide.

This basically means you can do anything you want with the software, except
|
|
1) call it your own, and 2) claim warranty on it. There is no warranty for
|
|
this software. None. Nada. If you lose a million dollars while using
|
|
Slirp, that's your loss not mine. So, ***USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!***.
|
|
|
|
If these conditions cannot be met due to legal restrictions (E.g. where it
|
|
is against the law to give out Software without warranty), you must cease
|
|
using the software and delete all copies you have.
