It does not matter whether it is upstream or not.
When you distribute your modified QEMU binary, anyone who receives it
has the right to ask you for the complete corresponding source code.
I also suggest that you write a wrapper around your library that exports
the contents as iSCSI or NBD.

Well, yes. I was assuming that there was potential for us to be able to
distribute qemu modifications that would not require us opening up our library.
The more we look at it, and some past precedence we've experienced, it looks
like it's not going to happen.
I think I agree that iSCSI is really our only option (legally). Too bad. The
code was so simple to integrate directly into qemu. I have to give you guys
kudos again for already having such a simple integration point.
