I would agree except for the fact that discussion that start in public
should stay in public.  It seems a common tactic to take a discussion
off the list when things start going away from the protagonists.

Go to http://www.rtai.org/ and read the history of RTAI.  You'll find
that you're wrong.  It is clear that RTAI was inspired by RTLinux, but
as time has gone on, the approaches have differed.  Personally I think
both approaches are valid and it's up to users to decide which one they
want to use.

Let's not do that or we'll end up with endless cross-posts.  Anyone who
doesn't like a message should just get heavy with the delete button.

So people know what's available.  Even if you don't believe it, I
suspect both sides take code from each other, which is actually what GPL
is supposed to be about.  If there had not been this rivalry, do you
think that either projects would have progressed as fast in the last
year ???

Too many list...
