Linux TV (Forbes)
[Posted January 21, 2004 by corbet]
Forbes
looks
at the use of Linux in electronic entertainment systems. "
Linux
does require more sharing of trade secrets. Recently Toshiba came out with
a Linux-based portable music player and was asked by Taiwanese and Chinese
would-be clonemakers to reveal the code used. 'Since Linux is open, we will
reveal the code to anybody who asks,' says Toshiba spokesperson Midori
Suzuki. Toshiba will differentiate its product with superior hardware, she
says."
