[Qemu-devel] Qemu on the Android platform

Hi,

We would like to know if one is able to compile and run the qemu binaries
on the Android platform, would it be possible to create an app
- from a trademark point of view (Qemu is a trademark in France) ?
- from a licence point of view (The whole app would be under the GPL v3
licence and source code of the app would be freely downloadable) ?

Thanks for your help and advices.

Apps Embedded Team.

QEMU is not compatible with GPLv3 today, the Wiki has a list of files
that are incompatible.

Some people have succeeded to build QEMU for Android, but this is not
being build-tested by maintainers. If something doesn't work, please
report it and post patches.

Regards,
Andreas
