Source code would be required... this eliminates several of the interesting cases. But I suspect any flavor of BSD could be so modified, provided you use only the external interface and no linux code (because BSD won't accept GPL code). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but calling the hypercall API is out-of-process, and thus can be done without adopting the GPL? > > Omar > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
