Thanks; you're getting closer at decent submission style.  Your
threading is still broken, though (the mail is missing an 'In-Reply-To:'
header that refers to <F4F7A35F-2C22-4F54-821F-03DDE2B146BC@gmail.com>
from the 0/4 cover letter); you can see this in the list archives:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/threads.html#01180

Note how your messages each appear as top-level threads, while most
other series are properly threaded.

Fabrice did not write this file.  You're probably better off replacing
this line wholesale with a Copyright 2016 and claiming copyright
yourself, since it is new material from you that is not substantially
copied from some existing file.

s/a enum/an enum/

Can you provide a URL to the source document that you used for coming up
with this list, so that we can better double-check your work?  (Do it as
a comment in this file, if you have one)

The name '__ADBKEYS__' is reserved for the compiler's use; you risk a
future collision for no good reason.  It's fine to use 'ADB_KEYS_H' as
your witness, better matching your filename and staying out of reserved
namespace.

I guess there is still room for improvement. :)

I just used the text that was in vl.c. I thought all files in QEMU were using GPLv2.

Could you provide a file name or a link that has the exact text you wish to see in the file?

BSD is just fine, if you have a strong reason for preferring it (it is a
weaker license than GPLv2+, which means GPL code can import BSD code,
but BSD code can't import GPL code.  Personally, I try to avoid the BSD
license on my code, because I don't like the fact that it allows
companies to make a proprietary fork of my code, while the GPL
guarantees that anyone using my code will keep it free.  But other
people don't like the GPL and intentionally favor BSD for things they
write for maximum uptake of their code.)

If you don't have a strong license preference, then there are plenty of
GPLv2+ files you can copy from:

$ git grep -l 'GPL, version 2 or' | wc -l
482

The URL is line-broken; but still works (since stackoverflow only cares
about the 3202629/ prefix). But yes, that sort of information source is
useful as a code comment.

Rather than place the whole license agreement in the file, could I just say this:

This code is licensed under the GNU GPL v2.

I didn't know I could shorten the url like that. I will definitely change the text to this:

*

Thanks for this tip.

No, because that is GPLv2-only, not GPLv2+.  The "or later" clause is an
important distinction (it determines whether your code can be copied
into a GPLv3+ project), and we've declared that no new files should be
GPLv2-only unless they are copied from a pre-existing project (such as
the Linux kernel) under that restriction, so that at least the rest of
qemu is usable in GPLv3 (even while qemu itself must remain GPLv2).

But if you're asking if you can use the two-liner present in
block/null.c (among other places), sure:

 * This work is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL, version 2 or later.
 * See the COPYING file in the top-level directory.
