It's not really hijacking h_vmem - in the end, your memsw limit is the
virtual size limit of the process/job.

Open Grid Scheduler is "commercial open source", so when we ship GE
2011.11 update 1, you will get the source. We are only selling
*optional* support, we don't sell our code under a commercial license,
see:

There are 2 issues that we need to solve first:

1) Copyright assignment - like any other open source projects, we do
need to own the rights or else it is not safe for ISVs to use our
code. So far, the external contributions are smaller and quite
straightforward (in terms of the code change - the debugging behind
that is often times much more complicated - eg. Brooks Davis'
BeyondTrust AD fix in shepherd)... For larger contributions, we need
to audit the code.

Let me start another thread to follow up with this specific topic.

2) As we are shipping in less than 1 month, what do you plan to
change?? We are only bug fixing the cgroups integration code now, and
we plan to add enhancements only in later update releases.
