Dear Linuxers,
Last week I posted an announcement about ongoing work w.r.t. threads on
kernel-level. Lots of people reminded of quite an error: the code that
is to be developed shall be distributed under the GNU PUBLIC LICENSE.
Therefore, it is available for both commercial and non-commercial use.
My apologies.
Also, accidently I called the kernel "Linux Viper, linux 2.0". It
appeared that only Linus can increase the number of the kernel. Therefore,
the kernel is called "Viper 1.0"; it will, however, be compatible with
the current Linux-kernels.
Hopefully, any errors are now cleared (so stop flaming me!).
Please, watch the announcements for the first kernel release supporting
kernel threads. If really in need for information about ongoing status:
mail to the mail-exploder: marino@ds5000.irb.hr
Regards,
Leon Bouwmeester.
