Contrary to what is stated in the article posted on the IT-Director.com
website, TimeSys wishes to stress that RTAI is NOT proprietary. We'd
like to
thank Paolo Mantegazza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and his
fellow contributors Steve Papacharalambous <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and
Pierre Cloutier
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and their respective
teams/organizations, for pointing out this error to us, and for their
contribution to RTAI.
To quote Paolo: "RTAI is and will be always as free as the
air".
