I don't want QEMU to be GPLv3. I don't like the terms of the GPLv3. I don't mind GPLv2+, if people want to share code from QEMU in GPLv3 projects, GPLv2+ enables that. But if new code is coming in and happens to be under GPLv2, that just means that the contribution cannot be used outside of QEMU in a GPLv3 project. That's fine and that's a decision for the submitter to make. Regards, Anthony Liguori > > > -- > error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
