I do not expect anyone to port binary - drivers or kernel modules from any of these, since the first two - are owned by IBM and the last two are open-source research OSes. - So these will move to GPL after a grace period to allow - people, who might be using implementations that I am not aware - of, to adjust to this upcoming change. -Who: Paul E.
