Okay, let's get serious about it.  I set up the following wiki page for 
coordination:

http://wiki.qemu.org/Relicensing

Please get the appropriate approval at Red Hat, and follow the instructions on 
the wiki.  I'm in the process of getting approval at IBM.  Between RH, IBM, and 
Blue, there's a pretty large chunk of files that can be relicensed immediately. 
  It's probably best to tackle this incrementally.
