The WinHvEmulation.h and WinHvPlatform.h header files needed are "All rights reserved". However these headers only contain struct definitions and integer constan= ts, no functional code in macros or inline functions. See: https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg645815.html It is questionable whether the headers alone can be considered copyrighta= ble material.
