I personally don't realy understand the problem with the way
yodaiken is handling this issue, on the one hand there seems
to be irritation that its not in the "spirit" of GPL , on the
other hand the complain is that release of non-GPL conde is hurt
under theses terms. This means to me that RTLinux 
should stay GPL so that non-GPL projects can profit from it.
that obviously makes littl sense. If everyone wants GPL,
fine , then there is no problem, just write GPL'ed code.

And I do think that you are right if you say that more and more code
will be released under the GPL .
