Sorry I missed the discussion on 9fans -- I got tired of the rudeness
and unsubscripted.

The Akaros thing is pretty much irrelevant here. It isn't a Plan 9
derivative in any useful sense, they just use some of the code. They
have not been involved in our GSoC efforts (which isn't to say we
wouldn't entertain a relevant proposal, but it hasn't come up). For
people interested in Plan 9 as a whole system, nothing has really
changed.
(Most of this has been discussed on 9fans.)

I have not kept up with any Plan9 stuff, but I did notice the
following:
http://www.osnews.com/story/27567/Plan_9_released_under_GPL_v2
"The University of California, Berkeley, has been authorised by
Alcatel-Lucent to release all Plan 9 software previously governed
by
the Lucent Public License, Version 1.02 under the GNU General
Public
License, Version 2.

So, maybe the people to talk to these days is UC Berkeley. My
question would be who is keeping the GPL repository?
Sorry to reply to my own reply, but to followup...
Apparently the UC Berkeley relicense effort is part of the akaros
project:
http://akaros.cs.berkeley.edu/akaros-web/news.php
I am not sure what relationship akaros has to plan9, but I am
guessing that it is somehow derivative. I just looked up the cast of
characters, and I see that Ron Minnich is one of them, so there is
likely some decent continuity between the two...
