We are not rejecting patches just because aren't GPLv3 compatible. I'm okay with people trying to make QEMU GPLv2+ but we're not going to reject code that cannot be practically made GPLv2+. Making as much code as possible GPLv2+ means more projects can share code from QEMU. I have no desire to make QEMU GPLv3. I said this many times in the past. GPLv2 only is fine for contributions.
