Intel acquires Linutronix

Intel has announced the acquisition of Linutronix.

Linutronix is comprised of a team of highly qualified and motivated employees with a wealth of experience and involvement in the ongoing development of Linux. Led by CEO Heinz Egger and CTO Thomas Gleixner, Linutronix is the architect of PREEMPT_RT (Real Time) and the leading technology provider for industrial Linux. Gleixner has been the principal maintainer of x86 architecture in the Linux kernel since 2008.

The plan is evidently to continue to run Linutronix as an independent company rather than absorbing it into Intel.
