This file has no other license, and is therefore incompatible with
GPLv2.  You'll need to resubmit under an appropriately open license.

I'm not a lawyer, but to me, this license is self-contradictory.  You
can't have "All rights reserved" and still be GPL, because the point of
the GPL is that you are NOT reserving all rights, but explicitly
granting your user various rights (on condition that they likewise grant
those rights to others).  But you're not the only file in the qemu code
base with this questionable mix.


Hum, ok, will update.
