I don't anticipate the emulation of a graphics card itself to be an issue. Unless, of course, that emulation infringes on some trademarks, trade secrets, patents, the DMCA or some other rule that I can't think of right now. What I think is problematic though is the way in which the information needed to program the emulation is acquired.
After doing some thinking, I think I found some sort of solution: A configure switch - just like ffmpeg has these days...If a company or a person wants not to take a risk - then just leave the current VGA implementation there and let the developer use a switch to use it. Else - use the newer implementations...
And in case no one has looked - QEMU is all about plugins - whether it's processor, IDE, floppy, VGA, etc - you can just write another plugin just like we have ARM, PPC, SPARC ...
Thanks, Hetz
