Remove the advertising clause from the slirp license
According to the FSF, the 4-clause BSD license, which slirp is covered under,
is not compatible with the GPL or LGPL[1].
[1] http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses
There are three declared copyright holders in slirp that use the 4-clause
BSD license, the Regents of UC Berkley, Danny Gasparovski, and Kelly Price.
Below are the appropriate permissions to remove the advertise clause from slirp
from each party.
Special thanks go to Richard Fontana from Red Hat for contacting all of the
necessary authors to resolve this issue!

To All Licensees, Distributors of Any Version of BSD:
As you know, certain of the Berkeley Software Distribution ("BSD") source
code files require that further distributions of products containing all or
portions of the software, acknowledge within their advertising materials
that such products contain software developed by UC Berkeley and its
contributors.
Specifically, the provision reads:
" * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
* must display the following acknowledgement:
* This product includes software developed by the University of

Effective immediately, licensees and distributors are no longer required to
include the acknowledgement within advertising materials. Accordingly, the
foregoing paragraph of those BSD Unix files containing it is hereby deleted
in its entirety.

Hi Richard,
I have no objection to having Slirp code in QEMU be licensed under the
3-clause BSD license.
Thanks for taking the effort to consult me about this.

Subject: Re: Slirp license
Thanks for contacting me, Richard. I'm glad you were able to find
Dan, as I've been "keeping the light on" for Slirp. I have no use for
it now, and I have little time for it (now holding onto Keenspot's
Comic Genesis and having a regular US state government position). If
Dan would like to return to the project, I'd love to give it back to
him.
As for copyright, I don't own all of it. Dan does, so I will defer to
him. Any of my patches I will gladly license to the 3-part BSD
license. My interest in re-licensing was because we didn't have ready
info to contact Dan. If Dan would like to port Slirp back out of
QEMU, a lot of us 64-bit users would be grateful.
Feel free to share this email address with Dan. I will be glad to
effect a transfer of the project to him and Mr. Bellard of the QEMU
project.

For my work on digital preservation it's important to have "golden"
disk images that are not corrupted by user action. In order to enable
this, I've added support for VHD virtual disks (especially snapshots !)
to the Linux and OS X versions of BasiliskII and SheepShaver.
The support uses the open source libvhd library which is part of xen,
available here:
http://www.xen.org/products/xen_source.html
The piece that's needed is libvhd which is in tools/blktap2 and it can
be separately compiled.
The vhd-util enables creation of vhd disks and snapshots.
Compiling libvhd for OS X is non-trivial and required 1) a new config
and 2) a number of small changes to the include files and c files.
Compiling for linux is a snap.
I use this as follows.
1) create my "golden image" gold.dsk in the usual way
2) create a snapshot: vhd-util snapshot -n gold.vhd -p gold.dsk -m
3) use the snapshot in my prefs file
In my work the golden images are in an AFS system which means the golden
images can reside at "universal" addresses. The snapshots are initially
tiny, so a complete virtual machine configuration -- prefs + snapshot is
quick to download for the end user.
The snapshots are copy on write which has the pleasant side effect of
letting the end user keep any changes.
This attached patch allows you to compile the Carbon Pasteboard services on
Snow Leopard if you are building for 32-bit, but not if you are building for 64.
To maintain backwards compatibility, the Carbon UI APIs aren't going to be
stripped from the 32-bit any time soon. However, there is no worry about
that in 64, so they didn't include it.
Add bin/cue support. The following should work:
1) Basilisk and SheepShaver with sdl-audio and bincue on linux and os x
2) SheepShaver with bincue and core audio on os x
GCC has become too smart - we need to slice the binary created to be sure the
address of the trap is within the test addresses. This is why each trap occurs
between two case labels and a new section of assembly code is set in between.
