Wind River Joins OSDL, Eclipse
The Open Source Development Labs has sent out a
press release proclaiming its latest member: Wind River, which sells
proprietary embedded systems tools and which has not always seen Linux as a
beneficial force. Wind River has also announced
that it is joining the Eclipse Consortium.

I can't say I feel too warm and fuzzy toward them all of a sudden just because they put out a nice press release... frankly I am quite distrustful of their intentions and hope the OSDL will be keeping them under watch.

AFAIK, Wind River wasn't involved with Slackware. But they bought BSDI, merged it with FreeBSD, and then dumped it. Or something like that.

Itallowed Patrick to pay for two more Slackware developers. About the first thing Wind River did when they took over BSD was drop Slackware, firing the development team, and putting the distribution organisation into chaos. At the time they made some "not interested in Linux" statements. Fortunately Slackware not only survived but seems to have flourished away from their attentions.

They're also the same Wind River that SCO claims is supporting their position on the current SCO-vs-Linux BS that SCO is spewing. I'd love to hear what OSDL has to say about this....
