Minor nit: This is four patches with identical subject, which makes
backports harder. If you have a reason to respin, titling them something
like:
slirp: clarify license of slirp files using SPDX: explicit BSD
slirp: clarify license of slirp files using SPDX: explicit MIT
slirp: clarify license of slirp files using SPDX: implicit via COPYING
slirp: clarify license of slirp files using SPDX: implicit via unstated
may help.
