Also on the subject of sh4 code licenses, hw/sh4/sh7750_regs.h
has
 * The license and distribution terms for this file may be
 * found in the file LICENSE in this distribution or at
 *  http://www.rtems.com/license/LICENSE.
because it's borrowed from RTEMS.
(The license at the URL is gpl-2-or-later with a header exception).

Maybe we should expand the license in-place so we're not dependent
on a 3rd party website to stay up to tell us what the license
on the file is? In particular I assume the comment really
means "the file LICENSE in the rtems distribution"
https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/LICENSE (same text as web page)
and not the file LICENSE in QEMU, which is not the same thing,
so that part is actively misleading.
