6:40 AM - Open Sound System released under CDDL and GPL

http://developer.opensound.com/

The real question is what do I do with this. FreeBSD has endorsed the CDDL in the sense they included code released under it in the base system. (ZFS and possibly dtrace) Where does that leave us? On the other hand, many of the drivers still have closed source glue which may mean this is useless to us.

6:45 AM - Will Perveasive Multithreading Make a comeback?

http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/15/1853241&from=rss

In short, no. I've been thinking about this article for a bit of time now. It inspired my NEXTSTEP and BE posts this weekend. The design ramifications do not warrant the work required to write an OS from the ground up like this. Even with some of my private kernel design ideas, I don't think this will ever happen again in a commercial product or mainstream open source product.
