Files in this repository with their own license
-----------------------------------------------

Files that state a license in their header keep it. These are
GPL-2.0-or-later, like the QEMU code they belong to or are built with:

  gfx/integration/ranchu_gfx.c, gfx/integration/ranchu_gfx.h
  host/macos/include/va_host_plugin.h
  host/macos/guest/va_pipe_probe.c, host/macos/guest/VaHwProbe.java
  tools/aot/tests/atomic128/a128.c

third_party/ref-emu/ holds reference sources from the Android Emulator and
AOSP, each under the license stated in the file (Apache-2.0 or GPL-2.0;
the few files without a header come from AOSP, Apache-2.0).

Some sources are compiled against the engine's GPL-2.0-or-later headers:
gfx/libva_gfx (include/hw/android/android_pipe.h), tools/aot/tbprof.c (a
QEMU TCG plugin, qemu-plugin.h) and tools/aot/tests/pt-unit/fs_setup.c.

The engine, a fork of QEMU and of UTM's QEMU tree, is GPL-2.0 (QEMU's
license, see its COPYING and LICENSE):
https://github.com/spianmo/VirtualAndroid-qemu
An app build embeds it as a separate framework; whoever distributes such a
build has to follow the GPL for the engine, including offering its source.

Build-time dependencies are downloaded by the build scripts and keep their
own licenses: UTM's build recipe and patches (Apache-2.0), glib, gettext
(libintl) and libiconv (LGPL), libffi, pixman and zstd (MIT/BSD), libslirp
(BSD), libucontext (ISC), gfxstream and aemu (Apache-2.0), ANGLE (BSD),
MoltenVK (Apache-2.0).
