| th the intention of encouraging individuals to create applications for it.

| "Because we have plans for having Linux on board [the PS3], we also recognise 
| Linux programming activities," said the head of the software platform 
| division of SCEI, Izumi Kawanishi, in an interview last year. "Other than 
| game studios tied to official developer licences, we'd like to see various 
| individuals participate in content creation for the PS3."
