Your reply is pretty much bollocks. In the same way Fabrice is free to start commercialising his smart product QEmu, no matter what the intentions behind that action are, Jean-Michel is free to stop his contribution to QEmu. As much as I hate to see this I think we should all respect each others actions. I suspect that recent changes will cause some more contributors to cease their work simply because it restricts[1] freedom which is what free software is all about. [1] For instance it will at the moment only compile on certain Linux systems while OS X and Windows are still broke. Also kqemu will only work on 32bit x86 Linux kernels which means that a constantly increasing number of people of x86_64 users will not be able to benefit from the advantages. I for one will have to stick to qemu-fast for the time being because I certainly have no intention to reboot my Dual-Opteron into pure 32bit mode every time I want to use qemu; mind you that SMP on x86_64 does not work too well in 32bit mode.
