IMHO, the option of using the 'bleeding edge' open source solution is that you will be helping identify those issues - the more users AND contributors back to the open source version the better it will be.
The advantage of paying for MontaVista licenses is they offer the stabilized supported version. If you are comfortable finding and fixing problems in the latest kernel and up-porting associated software components then that may work well for your project. At some point when we have enough of an open source user base, we'll take a stable snapshot and post to linux.davincidsp.com but this is taking secondary priority to improving improvements for the production DVSDK.

The 2.6.20 kernel compiled with 3.4.3 gcc boots fine and I'm also able to run "decode" sample application. I just rebuild cmemk.ko & dsplink.ko. What benefits of kernel we cannot get using older tool-chain (such as NPTL) ?. Any drawbacks of this combination ?
