VMware seeks "a skilled Open Source/Linux expert"

,----[ Quote ]
| VMware, perhaps recognizing its exposure from open-source virtualization 
| solutions, is looking for an open-source expert to help with a range of 
| things, including help to create "a test framework for a custom Linux 
| distribution." VMware is seeking a "Senior Software Reliability Engineer," as 
| noted on an open-source group on LinkedIn, but perhaps it should be looking 
| for an open-source savvy IP attorney?

VMware's hypervisor to go open source?

,----[ Quote ]
| He expressed admiration for how the open source model encourages
| participation by anyone regardless of where they are located, but he didn’t
| say whether VMware will actually open source ESX.

VMware: A "significant portion" of our technology may include open source

,----[ Quote ]
| VMware seems to be dancing around the elephant in the room: its controversial
| use of Linux in its proprietary hypervisor technology. It's interesting that
| the company, which has refused to comment publicly on these specific
| allegations, is content to serve up a blanket advisory in its 10-Q.
|
| If I were a VMware shareholder, I'd want clarity. The company suggests that
| it's complying with all open-source licenses, to the best of its knowledge.
| If this is true, it's perhaps time for the company to put those claims to a
| public sniff test.
|
| The developer community hasn't been amused by VMware's use of embedded Linux
| in its hypervisor technology. Why not call out specifically why VMware feels
| it is in compliance with the GPL?
