      tcg/LICENSE: Remove out of date claim about TCG subdirectory licensing · cb974c95
      Peter Maydell authored
      
      Since 2008 the tcg/LICENSE file has not changed: it claims that
      everything under tcg/ is BSD-licensed.
      
      This is not true and hasn't been true for years: in 2013 we
      accepted the tcg/aarch64 target code under a GPLv2-or-later
      license statement. We also have generic vector optimisation
      code under the LGPL2.1-or-later, and the TCI backend is
      GPLv2-or-later. Further, many of the files are not BSD
      licensed but MIT licensed.
      
      We don't really consider the tcg subdirectory to be a distinct part
      of QEMU anyway.
      
      Remove the LICENSE file, since claiming false information
      about the license of the code is confusing.
      
      Update the main project LICENSE file also to be clearer about
      the licenses used by TCG.

      1) The GPL says that "if the Program does not specify a version number
      of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
      Software Foundation".  This is not true, QEMU includes parts that are
      v2-only.
      
      2) Provide a default for files with no licensing information.
      
      3) It is not just hardware emulation that is under BSD license.
      
      4) Restrict GPLv2-only contributions to user mode emulation (due to
      code from Linux) and PCI passthrough (due to code from Neocleus).
      
      5) The rules were initially set by Fabrice but are being amended by
      other people (already in commit ee12e1f3, LICENSE: There is no libqemu.a
      anymore, 2011-11-15).  Do not put words in his mouth.
