Paragraph (2) says "Parts of QEMU have specific licenses which are
compatible with the GNU General Public License, version 2", which
is what this is. Paragraph (3) isn't saying "BSD license is special",
it's saying "the TCG codegen code is special" -- it's a theoretically
well-defined reusable subset of code that has its own tighter standards
for what license we accept (see also tcg/LICENSE).
