Jeremy shows us Xen, a GPL'ed VM system similar to VMware. 
    (from the U.Cambridge project page)

    Xen is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of
multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of
performance and resource isolation. Xen is Open Source software,
released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. We have a
fully functional ports of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 running over Xen, and
regularly use it for running demanding applications like MySQL, Apache
and PostgreSQL. Any Linux distribution (RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Mandrake)
should run unmodified over the ported OS.
