This is inevitable but we can't seem to avoid it. And everyone who gets it, starts throwing up. You will waste everyone's time going over the same old tired arguments gone over literally hundreds of time in other forums. In the end nothing gets resolved. So enough already! Instead can someone please figure out why plan9 doesn't work with kqemu? Or how about profiling qemu and working on one of the top 10 time hogs. Or work on qvm86. Or work on adding new capabilities to qemu. Any of these is likely to be more challenging, satisfying and fun than being down with the GPL discussion 'flu blues. Thanks!
