Anyway, the only non-childish reason to contribute under a pseudonym (as
opposed to a known alias*) I can imagine is a contribution from someone
working on a competing commercial emulation/virtualization solution who
doesn't want her employer finding out, in which case it is questionable
whether she can actually sign off her own code as it may conflict with
non-free company IP. Any comments, Mr. Blauwirbel? ;)
