In the referenced article, David Beckemeyer repeated his offer to donate the
RTX multitasking kernel to the public domain <under the right circumstances>.
He takes us all to task because all he requires is for someone to write a
worthwhile application to go with it, and in 2 years, nobody wrote one. As
I remember the earlier discussion, though, the conditions were never so
clearcut before. I remember a lot of offers to make RTX available free if
anyone could give him a good reason, and then a general fading out of
discussion. So: somebody does a printer daemon or a shell with job control
and then we can all have RTX? That's a more concrete target.
