Cygnus should just throw out ECOS and contribute to Linux instead.
Somehow this seems to be very similar to SCO or SUN putting
a "Linux application compatibility layer" so that we can "take advantage
of all that software being written for Linux" (i guess by all those nuts
out there).
Call me a skeptic, but i dont see any reason why the open source
community should support Cygnus in what i see as a marketing ploy.
Amazingly, they reffered to the EL/IX as an "effort to stop the
fragmentation of Linux". Wow!
It is a shame that it is Cygnus in this picture. I have always thought
highly of them.
