Anyone know if they're going to release an opensource version? I looked, but didn't find anything.

There is no proprietary component in the base Red Hat MRG product. MRG is messaging, grid and real-time. It is a layered product on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which integrates a Linux kernel (with the RT patchset) and other bits like Condor and Apache Qpid, much of which, upstream is funded by Red Hat

Thank you. Those links were what I was looking for. It was non-obvious to me what the individual layers were built from.

Now, together with hard realtime and soft realtime, we have also cloudy realtime :>
