In addition to what I say below, I don't understand what you're getting
at by this statement either.

Why would the OS guys have to release their OS source code? Their
source code has nothing to do with a Linux driver written to conform to
UDI. The only piece of UDI code that is of any real concern to the
Linux community is the Linux OS environment piece. THAT would have to
be released under the GPL for it to be publicly accepted. Anybody who
wrote UDI drivers for Linux would also want to release their drivers
under the GPL. In that case, the entire Linux UDI driver environment is
then released GPL. What does HP-UX, SunOS, etc. have to do with
anything?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point... Or maybe there is a lack of
understanding by many about how UDI is architected.
