   Am I wrong, or RTAI was based on RTL?  This sounds like someone here
is spitting in the wind. (Or, assuming it will make as much sense in 
english as it does in portuguese: one is spitting on the plate that 
oneself's eating from)

   "COPYRIGHT"??!! What kind of copyright? A GPL, I presume.
   But then again, copyright what??!! These things (ideas) are older than
the bible -- or maybe even older than the first draft of the book of 
Genesis.  ;-)


   Now I remember why I unsubscribe this list a year ago. 
   Isn't that about time we had one single RT-LINUX, or whatever
you want to call it?
   A year went by, and there are still threads like this one. Titled
"RTAI and RTLinux" or "RTAI vs. RTLinux".
   

   How about getting a Nobel Prize, a lot of people in this list will
get a Nobel Prize, alright. But first, the Nobel Foundation have to 
start awarding people for re-inventing the wheel.
