Amol, 1) MontaVista licensed kernels have the latest, tested, indemnified and final patches that TI produces. Although we often times make beta patches available to users on the DVEVM updates site, those are beta patches that have not been through MontaVista Q&A. We might eventually push those updates back onto the git kernel, but there will be a delay between it being available in git and being available on the MontaVista Zone (for licensed users). For the latest, robust and proven kernel, TI recommends going with a MontaVista Licensed Kernel.
2) There is NO indemnification included in the DVEVM preliminary demo version of MontaVista Linux. If a customer wants to go into production with that version of Linux, he needs to do the due diligence of making sure what he uses is open source (a good amount of the drivers etc are). Or, he could use the git kernel with a clear conscience as the git kernel is completely open source. Using a MontaVista Licensed Kernel allows you to relieve these concerns as it is completely indemnified by MontaVista. As the cost is only $6995 per kernel/driver developer (with cost reduction for multiple seats), we believe our customers will find the benefits of a robust, up to date linux system with indemnification to be very affordable. Remember there are no royalties with MV Linux and you can use the licensed kernel among other DM644x products without paying extra.

What is the difference between them ? I think all the patches that are available as a part of licensed kernel are already part of git kernel . Am I correct ? Are there some more enhancements/patches that are _only_ available in mv licensed kernel and not in git kernel ? 2. I have DVEVM & use mv kernel that comes as a part of dvevm. Do I need to take montavista license for going to production?
