This was indeed not a nice thing to say. What I would rather say is:
Fabrice, un grand merci.
Note that Fabrice has been quite a genius so far, so I expect a number of
other great stuff to come from him. Maybe he GPL'd kqemu so others can
take the project further while he is busy on his next idea(s)?

Bellard is a hacker of the first order (look at qemu, ffmpeg, tcc). I hope the explosion of virtualization products that his work has helped bring about (I think at least virtualbox and kvm borrow from qemu) will bring him some financial rewards as well.
I sure hope he keeps on doing what he has been doing!

KVM itself does not do anything that is Qemu-specific.. it can be used with any sort of VM environment you would like to port to use it...... but so far a hacked Qemu is all there is.
Xen uses Qemu stuff somewhat also for their stuff.
It's too bad that Kqemu has taken so long to become GPL'd. It's been around for a long time now, but it's better late then never and it is quite usefull for non-VT/SVM enabled machines.
Also hopefully the kernel hackers can look at the Kqemu code and figure out ways to fix some of KVM's existing limitations.
