A question for linux-8086 list readers: With such OS vendors as QNX looking to become at least partially open, do you think there is a space in the embedded systems marketplace for an open source 16-bit processor Linux variant (like ELKS) with TCP/IP protocol stack? Could you ever imagine that

Essentially, you are looking at this from a traditional capitalist mentality. We are no longer there. In the Microcosm, in the "information age", information is the commodity and there, to some extent is an unlimited 'market space'. You aren't here creating an operating system, per se, but
