Virtualization and License Compliance,
It used to be the embedded area where the GPL didn't mean that much, if a hardware vendor had to choose between
complying to the GPL or paying a license fee for VXworks or anohter embedded platform the choice for Linux and not bothering to comply till Harald knocked their doors was an easy one. Things are starting to look better in the Embedded area now, we're not there yet .. but things are improving.
Today I read the article on /. (bias warning!)
about SWSoft not complying (yet)
and I tought back about the early days of Virtual Iron, the rumours went away but iirc there seemed to be some issues there also regarding their migration code and where it came from.
So .. it she virtualisation area the new place to violate the GPL ?
I hope not .
