Can ya imagine trying to get "device time" when everyone else is, too?
Oh.
Wait.
We're talking Palm, right?
Nevermind!

RE: Mutex required
Is it time to start making REAL noise about getting the source code for Nova?
Or for that matter, ALP?
Maybe a quickie email to The Free Software Foundation might get things moving, huh?
GPL rules, and all that.
ALP =REAL= soon (if that Access guy's words about a phone soon to be available with it plays out), Nova by end of year or so?

You at liberty to drop any hints/tidbits on what you're currently up to? Anything that might be of interest to the PIC faithful etc?

RE: Mutex required
The GPL says something like:
== "If you keep YOUR software separate from GPLed software, then you
== can keep your software secret. But if you don't, you can't - you must
== make available (to everyone forever) the source for your changes/enhancements
== as soon as you have released the binary version"
Colligan must be turning over in his grave about that.
Without going over the GPL with a fine-toothed legal-mindset comb this probably means that any static code that PALM has added to the Linux core, any deletions and additions, MUST be available as source. I didn't carefully read the GPL about how DYNAMIC code is handled but I believe the GPL has words about just how "separate" things have to be before you can keep them secret (that is, you can't put just about EVERYTHING in a dynamically-loaded module then claim that your almost-boot loader is the only static part that needs its source code released...).
Anyway, come "late calendar year 2008" when the new OS is supposed to be...er..."ready but not seen", I would bet bucks that PALM will be VERY restrictive in its ... er ... "readyness" to make sure it is still "under development", thus considered by the GPL to not yet having been released.

I'm not sure why you would put your interpretation of what the GPL says into quotes and in a standout form. Typically people put something in quotes is because they are actually quoting something else. But just to clarify and make sure I am understanding you, you are in no way trying to imply that the statement above is what the GPL actually says, are you? (And if I am wrong about that, can you give me a link to that quote?) Thanks.

[and to pointedly note - why are you bothering with these questions? Really? Why? For what reasons? Contemplate your navel.]
