The move is part of a broader trend at Microsoft towards collaboration with the open source software community. Prominent Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the code submission today in a message posted to the Linux kernel mailing list. He says that the new drivers contributed by Microsoft will soon land in the staging tree where they will undergo some refinement before they are merged directly into the mainline kernel. Microsoft is making the code available under the terms of GNU's General Public License (GPL), the open source software license that is used by the Linux kernel. _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
