VMware and the GPL: Round two
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a corner case that involves a type of linkage and relationship that
| the GPL doesn't explicitly cover. It's also a type of linkage and
| relationship between software components that Linux Torvalds, the Software
| Freedom Law Center, the Free Software Foundation, etc. are well aware of and
| have explicitly or implicitly decided that it's something they'll tolerate
| even if they don't enthusiastically endorse it.
|
| But is it legal? Well, yes, until some court decided it isn't. Which is a
| battle that none of the most relevant players have any interest in fighting.

VMware joins Linux Foundation--while reportedly violating the GPL
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's the problem with how VMware apparently uses Linux (though there's
| still an open question as to whether VMware does, in fact, use Linux, the
| evidence points pretty strongly to VMware's use of the open-source operating
| system).

VMWare beware: Sun’s FOSS VirtualBox hits the sweet spot for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to virtualising Linux, VMWare has always had the edge of
| Microsoft’s Virtual PC which has limited video display support. Although
| these were the best two, there have been other lesser-known options like
| XENSource. Here’s Sun’s VirtualBox and why it is truly kick-ass.

The VMware house of cards
,----[ Quote ]
| Looking at an ESX server, you’ll find what looks like a Linux OS. This isn’t
| a secret -- VMware call this the ‘console OS’.

VMware and the GPL
,----[ Quote ]
| VMware’s use of Linux is hardly a secret that’s just been
| uncovered—as the usual corporation-hating online mob crying “scandal!” seems
| to be implying. The architecture of ESX Server has been known for years.
| Books have been written about it.
