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 lat= er. * See the COPYING file in the top-level directory. */ --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --AOG4jqrViFGiLkm8dXTLCD3JtoiCXDpem Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJW3fY2AAoJEKeha0olJ0NqtV0H/2uVLHBIs06LOMSP7e1sUD9c hPCHX7PVAZ1xqA528gDC2nkurOrOQZyPeDsp6y1sL2PrGc2Lea8RFGLMI8PBrUAg N8IM/7flYgLWC02BTRhzJtsPck4LWFS+rAPFMNODa+HRcjxZ3q03sGa7839fWhg+ a7L1oydycp/wQw9dBOml9liZv6CI1n0Z7cHDRP6eYSA1ItLMLXA4UG6vlXROe9Ns E0sjs4zG84NNxqONZ+gPbvKNGAFD6GHgXnruc8dgjy+Qhf+w8EtBZTB6tug4g6wr GL3xvIydcLDU4gALx4uJ27BqD3sNBUarUUM9v2HPYMfFh/tRAbMuCXnMXETqQgc= =0c9P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --AOG4jqrViFGiLkm8dXTLCD3JtoiCXDpem--
