Ow. Ok, then I just leave it as-is, github already showing this text as 
license, 
and while qemu as project can't use this firmware - users still can.

Also, there seems to be another pmon branch on github:
https://github.com/jcowgill/pmon-loongson - but I haven't tested it.

Morever, what lives in 
http://www.anheng.com.cn/loongson/pmon/updates.lemote.com/files/upload/lm/firmware/pmon/source/

seems to be THIRD branch of pmon, at least radeon-specific file is different, 
and apparently solved bug I solved independently. (there was confusion between 
Bytes per pixel and Bits per pixel)
