Well, obviously as long as we carry around a copy of x86emu (which is
BSD, not GPL), we can accept BSD licensed patches to that code.

I'm a bit surprised about "most legal opinions". Whose opinions are
they? Any pointers? Nobody ever complained about me linking libpayload
into FILO, for example, so it's not that incompatible). Do I have to
drop libpayload again?
