[Openmosix-general] New version of userland tools

Hi everybody Let's keep calm. The very reason why I launched openMosix is because I knew from last September that Mosix would go proprietary. But going proprietary is not something that they can do from one day to the other. According to the law of Israel ( I myself am studying for my degree in law for this spring) and according to the GPL, they can only un-GPL any new code in the new version of Mosix (1.5.7). All old code has to remain GPL. By making the user-space utilities non-GPL, Mosix is effectively not usable by entities without incurring serious legal liabilities. But hey! you have a choice, you have openMosix. Since it would be our responsibility to make sure not use any of the new code in Mosix 1.5.7, we can simply take the user-land tools of Mosix 1.5.2 (for 2.4.13) and then prepare them just like David Orcero prepared openMosix user-space tools from Mosix 1.5.7. That is the cheap and fast way to legal and GPL openMosix user-space utilities. If David or anybody feels like re-writing user-space utilities from scratch, that is something which I am willing to accept into openMosix in a second phase.
