The only thing important is what GPL says. And GPL is clear here. KQemu must
be a derived work (i.e. include some source (even C headres) from kernel
and/or be bound just to a Linux kernel) to be forced to go under GPL. But
neither it includes any kernel headres nor it's Linux only -- the very same
binary (object file) can be used with *BSD as well as Windows. So KQemu can
be legally licenced under any licence Fabrice chooses.
