Hi Fabrice!

    Congratulations on the release of this very important code, it has been much anticipated!  :)  A quick question: if the module does not allow for redistribution, how does this affect the nightly source tarballs that I am used to grabbing from dad-answers - will these not be able to contain this module?  CVS access is very difficult for some (me in particular :) because of fascist firewalls :(

    Also, can I add my $0.02c and say that I too would be happy to donate a la blender to seeing this module put under the GPL.

Many regards, and thank you for your fantastic work

Hi,

I just commited the first alpha release of the QEMU Accelerator Module 
(aka KQEMU) in the CVS. It gives better performance for the "x86 on x86" 
case by running most of the application code as is. It works only for a 
Linux x86 host running a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels 
and Windows 2000 have been runnning as guest OSes, but other OSes may 
work as well. As with every alpha kernel driver testing, it is better to 
backup your data before trying it.

KQEMU is _not_ open source as the rest of QEMU. It is a proprietary 
kernel module (read the LICENSE file) and will stay so until a gentle 
company decides to subsidy the QEMU project.

KQEMU usage is optional: you can disable it at compilation or run time, 
so no one is forced to use it.

Fabrice.
