Google and Sun may butt heads over Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Google most likely built Dalvik as a way to get around licensing issues with
| Sun that would have come with using JME, said Stefano Mazzocchi, a developer
| and board member at Apache Labs.

They just need to keep Novell and the Microsoft proxies (IP poison) out of it.

OpenSolaris, Gobuntu, and be careful who you kiss
,----[ Quote ]
| I read the agreement between Xandros and Microsoft, and one of the excluded
| products was Mono, so Microsoft promises to not sue Xandros over their
| distribution but excluding Mono and a few other products, i.e. they reserve
| the right to sue over Mono. I wonder if this is an interesting preview of on
| what basis they want to fight the free world.
|
| Interestingly, the Novell deal seems to be different, Mono is not excluded
| from the Novell deal. So Microsoft seems to be promising not to sue Novell
| over Mono, but keeps the option open for Xandros. Weird but true.

Miguel, Mono and Microsoft

Linux First? (at Texas Instruments)
,----[ Quote ]
| Texas Instruments (TI) had one operating system at the top if its list
| when it put together support for DaVinci, its latest dual-core ARM/DSP
| OMAP line--MontaVista's Linux. In fact, TI took this support a step
| further by eliminating the need for many developers to program the DSP
| directly using tools such as TI's Code Composer Studio. Instead,
| ARM-based Linux-device drivers implement features such as codecs and
| filters by loading the matching DSP code on the second processor core
| and setting up a link between it and the ARM core.
