The QEMU distribution includes both the QEMU emulator and
|
|
|
|
various firmware files. These are separate programs that are
|
|
|
|
distributed together for our users' convenience, and they have
|
|
|
|
separate licenses.

1) The QEMU emulator as a whole is released under the GNU General
|
|
|
|
Public License, version 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Parts of the QEMU emulator have specific licenses which are compatible
|
|
|
|
with the GNU General Public License, version 2. Hence each source file
|
|
|
|
contains its own licensing information. Source files with no licensing
|
|
|
|
information are released under the GNU General Public License, version
|
|
|
|
2 or (at your option) any later version.
