--- Comment #2 from Jacob Lifshay <programmerjake at gmail.com> ---
I think we should have the license be (SPDX syntax):
LGPL-3.0+ OR GPL-2.0 OR GFDL-1.3-no-invariants-or-later OR (whatever OPF needs)

This means authors provide the necessary licenses for *all* of LGPLv3+ and
GPLv2 and GFDLv1.3+ (with no invariant sections or front/back text, since those
aren't allowed to be modified) and OPF licensing, but downstream users may
select *any* subset of those licenses and completely ignore the rest.

LGPLv3 provides the required patent license. GPLv2 for linux/qemu. GFDL by
luke's request.

(this is inspired by Rust which has Apache-2.0 OR MIT as their license, likely
because of Apache 2.0's patent license and MIT's simplicity)
