Re: [Xen-devel] xen, OpenMosix + pretty gui = virtual iron killer

[Brian Wolfe <brianw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

*chuckle* this is what I've been looking into for over a year now. If
they try to patent it, I'd think it'll fail the "non-obvious"
clause. ;-P

For being founded in March 2003 it seems a rather rapid development to
have been completely proprietary. I'd LOVE to find out if they are
leaching off of OpenMOSIX+XEN in some way.

I did notice that they joined OSDL
http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/31320/ as a part of the Data Center
Linux working group.

Maybe they patented the idea of xen+mosix. who knows. anyone?
