It's not clear that there's a licensing problem here. Sony plans to sell a hardware/software kit for ps/2. See http://www.idg.net/idgns/2001/05/07/SonyBowsToPressureUnveilsLinux.shtml The beta version of the PS2 Linux Kit consists of a software DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disc), a hard disk drive unit, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) keyboard, a USB mouse, and VGA (Video Graphics Array) adaptor. At first, 1,000 kits will be distributed through SCEI's Playstation.com web site and that number could be increased according to the demand, the company reported. ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
