MorphOS x86

That's certainly doable; there's at least two PPC emulation architectures you could draw from to do it (bits of sheepshaver and pearPC)

We don't like stealing GPL code.

If you have a proprietary product you can't use GPL code for such integral part as CPU emulation. Unless of course you want to make everything GPL. For some that might be an option but for us it is not. If it was LGPL then it could be possible to use it in theory, but with GPL it is not.

And obviously no-one wants another CherryOS...

UAE is also GPL but the ROM and a lot of software running on it are closed source.

That is a completely different situation. Try to take UAE itself and include it as a integral part of a proprietary system, and then tell me it can be done.

[Piru]

It should be able to be done but depends on how you make UAE an integral part of the whole system. Linux distros are also consisting of a lot of non-GPL code and some even of proprietary code with the GPL kernel an integral part of the system.

Again that is a completely different situation.
