It does. The Windows-only trials are "phase I", and the dual-boot "phase II" is explicitly spelled out, with transition criteria to move to phase II related to the completion of OFW2. We raised questions about the contract language during the last all-hands meeting, and were assured that it was closely examined in response. I'm not a lawyer, and haven't seen the language in any case, so I can't say more. But the parties involved were not naive. In any case, the best response is clear: continue to work on the Linux software stack and ensure that it is simply better than the Windows alternative. I've heard a lot of sturm und drang, but am saddened that I haven't seen much help from those shouting in actually making Sugar/Linux more competitive: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5452 http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5451 (as well as the task lists I've previously posted at: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-May/014539.html (end of message) http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-May/0136 ) --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
