I seem to remember doing such hard work before myself.
The decoder in plex86 (which is from bochs) has hand-coded decode
attributes in tables. I haven't looked at your code, but I assume
it's a short-hand way of creating such tables. But this work is
done already. It's also tested on many guest OSes.

That's not how it works for plex86. We use the LGPL license.
Your work is either LGPL'd or not. Demands are not acceptable.
If you want people to extend your work in Open Source, then
submit it as such, and interested parties might help.
