As I say before: juste do it...

I can also program a very basic GUI to just start and stop the emulator 
(event that will require more that 5 minutes for sur), but this basic 
GUI will be nothing like VmWare GUI is. Understand that the price is 
also not the same. This is the first point I find wrong in your original 
say.

The second point is that the kqemu, qemu and a GUI are different things. 
You can start today a separate project to make a proprietary GUI that 
use qemu at it backend. So you can maybe get some money of that 
operation. Fact is that all contributors to qemu will never see that money.

So there is a probability that someone start a Open Source GUI that will 
trash for sur your proprietary one. This is also this risk that just 
take Fabrice with kqemu. And what? Did you know a buisness without any 
risk ?
