and become the first software company to publicly announce the licensing
of Yodaiken’s patented process for running a general purpose operating
system (such as Linux) as a task under a real-time kernel (such as RTLinux or RTAI). There’s a special
report
at LinuxDevices … There’s an interesting quote where Yodaiken claims his patent will
help open source.”
