Hi!

One thing that bothers me a bit about RTLinux which I thought you might help
me with:

To what extent is software covered under the RTLinux patent/GPL, i.e. it is
obvious that if I were to extend the RTLinux scheduler or something that
forms an integral part of RTLinux in some way, I'd have to release that
changes under GPL/RTLinux patent, but what happens if I write an application
that makes use of RTLinux real-time threads or a kernel module that uses
real-time interrupts? May that software still be proprietary or are any
derived works covered by the license/patent as well?
