Re: Does Hebrew U. violate the GPL?



So what if the army uses it?

If this project was done FOR the army, thats fine with me.

But why not releasing the source code so the community to improve it?

I would like to see it running, so I can connect my 4 PC's here at home and get
some real good power for calculating 3D graphics (I'm not allowed to say
anything about it yet - but 2 of the biggest companies who created 3D graphics
programs for PC are going to release their products for Linux, and they're
interesting to see Mosix in action. The funny thing that they know about about
both companies the plans of each other).

If they're not going to release it, at least remove the 6 PC's limit. 10 SMP
Xeon costs MUCH less then a powerful SGI or SUN, and without the 6 PC's limit,
people would happy to deploy Mosix.
