[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qapi: Fix licensing of scripts

[Markus Armbruster]

The scripts carry this copyright notice:

    # This work is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPLv2.
    # See the COPYING.LIB file in the top-level directory.

The sentences contradict each other, as COPYING.LIB contains the LGPL
2.1.  Michael Roth says this was a simple pasto, and he meant to refer
COPYING.  Let's fix that.

Relicense to GPLv2+ while we're at it.

Need permission from all previous signers.  We already got permission
for blanket relicensing of GPLv2-only code to GPLv2+ from Blue Swirl
<address@hidden>, Stefan Weil <address@hidden>, and Red Hat.
All remaining signers are cc'ed.
