I'm not a lawyer. If you want an answer to a legal question you need to ask a lawyer. I can tell you that this code is part of u-boot, which we include with QEMU only because it is built into a guest ROM image (pc-bios/u-boot.e500) which we use on the 'ppce500' PowerPC board. Further, I would not expect that file to be compiled into the u-boot.e500 binary because it's definitions specific to a different chip (but I have not tested this). At some point we should probably move to a newer version of u-boot (this one is from 2014), which will in passing delete this file since it has dropped support for all those boards that used it. thanks -- PMM
