HI,I agree. And by developers I assume you mean those laid off? I still see activity from familiar names though no longer with Red Hat email addresses :-) Who will maintain eCOs if Red Hat are not?
For what it's worth, I say good riddance. Red Hat never knew what
to do with eCOs or even GNU for that matter. Now that the eCos
source is GPL'ed (with appropriate modifiers for embedded use), I
believe it will take off. I intend to show my support by working with some of the developers to create board/eCos bundles for development
use. I encourage all of the board vendors out there to do the same.
There were rumours of an eCOs startup. Does anyone know what happened to that? Did their VC fall through, or are they still looking for VC?And as for end users, support eCos by working with the developers and funding the projects. Maybe now they can take on reasonable size jobs since they do not have to meet the inflated levels of revenue Red Hat expected of each customer.
I agree. Red Hat were becoming the Microsoft of the Open Source world so this can only be a good thing.Anyway, I think an eCos free from Red Hat is good for the embedded world and I do not believe it will die off.
