Following Fabrice decision to transform QEMU into a proprietary closed

No, Fabrice did not transform QEMU into anything. He simply added another
optional module than can make QEMU faster and more bug-free. You can still
use QEMU without the accelerator and be perfectly happy with it. Also any
further development in area of IO, devices and so on will make both
versions better. KQEMU is only very small accelerator.

the future looks more like this:
- you want the same performance or better as before?
then you have to use 'my' proprietary kernel module
which isn't even open source (so that somebody
could verify that it isn't that evil ...)
- of course, you can use the slow version and
contribute to the development of the commercial?
version ...
