    • text of the Lineo press release
    • comments from Victor Yodaiken
    • news of a non-patented open source alternative ("Adeos")
    • a reference list about RTLinux and the RTLinux patent
    • a whitepaper about Adeos
    There's an interesting quote where Yodaiken claims his patent will help open source."
