I never understood why we triggered such hate on the Internet.
Americans (just a wild guess, that he is one) seem to have two strange phobiae: Herpes and French people.

It’s a long story IMHO. You can find hate pretty far back in history, mostly because of the many wars involving France.
Recently I would mention the lack of appreciation towards the allies after the WW2, or France not invading Irak with others because of the (fake) mass destruction weapons.
In addition to that, Frenchmen are quite patriotic and proud so it’s a fun target. It’s also an allied country and a strong one so it’s not very politically incorrect to be a bit racist as a joke. Most people don’t dare to say the same about China or Zimbabwe for obvious reasons.

Where did you get this impression? The US were basically seen as the it country for decades.

It's not really obvious for me. Why is “he is a great programmer despite being French” seen as OK, whereas e.g. “he is a great programmer despite being Black” would clutch (and rightly so) many pearls?

The CPU version is provided under binary format only.
You're right : `The CPU version is released as binary code under the MIT license`. That's quite an unusual choice, not even sure how MIT would apply to that...
The goal here is to allow you to redistribute while maintaining the copyright notice.

Would you mind explaining to me what is funny in this?

I guess the ACM A. M. Turing Award is as close as we get, which AFAIK, they never won. But Bellard won countless of other awards, competitions and benchmarks, it is not like they are unrecognized for their work in the field.

You can release whatever you want under MIT :) It grants you the right to use the binary for commercial projects (or any type of projects you want), to modify the binary, distribute it yourself and more. You cannot hold Bellard/the license holder liable for anything related to it, and you must include the license and copyright if you distribute it.
Seems pretty doable to me :)

Well, I'm British and France and the UK seem to have been mortal enemies for a long time :)
However, I absolutely love the French, the French language, and your country. I'm definitely not above pocking some fun at the French, but my French friends give it back in equal measure haha.
