Slirp is free software; "free" as in you don't have to pay for it, and you
are free to do whatever you want with it. I do not accept any donations,
monetary or otherwise, for Slirp. Instead, I would ask you to pass this
potential donation to your favorite charity. In fact, I encourage
*everyone* who finds Slirp useful to make a small donation to their
favorite charity (for example, GreenPeace). This is not a requirement, but
a suggestion from someone who highly values the service they provide.

slirp: update COPYRIGHT to use full 3-Clause BSD License According to commit 2f5f89963186d42a7ded253bc6cf5b32abb45cec ("Remove the advertising clause from the slirp license"), Danny Gasparovski gave permission to license slirp code under 3-clause BSD license: Subject: RE: Slirp license Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 10:51:00 +1100 From: "Gasparovski, Daniel" <Daniel.Gasparovski@ato.gov.au> To: "Richard Fontana" <rfontana@redhat.com> I have no objection to having Slirp code in QEMU be licensed under the 3-clause BSD license. slirp/COPYRIGHT's initial version in 2004 (commit 5fafdf24) listed only 3 clauses BUT used the poisonous advertising clause for clause 3 which is the controversial clause of non-free 4-clause (that is, it appears that the BSD-4 license was copied, and then the WRONG clause was deleted, when creating COPYRIGHT. Perhaps explained as an easy mistake to make since 3-clause was created by removing clause 3 of the 4-clause, where you sometimes see the three-clause version with clauses 1, 2, 4; but more commonly see a renumbered version with clauses 1, 2, 3 to close the gap. If you pay attention only to clause numbers instead of content, it can be easy to confuse which clause to delete to go from 4-clause to 3-clause). Commit 2f5f89963 removed the poisonous wrong clause on the grounds of moving from 4-clause to 3-clause; but did not add the missing clause, which makes it LOOK like the 2-clause version. But I think we have a decent enough trail showing the intent for 3-clause.
