"4. OSDL’s possible goals include:
* IP buffer. Ship GPL code unchanged without donating via GPL
patents in that code.
* Chip demand increase
* Converged Linux/GPL code base (required to make available to
community)
* “Planned” releases, coordination, obvious OSS inertia
and royalty savings c.f. Windows
* Undifferentiated “subsidy” foundation for their
“expensive” proprietary, add-on products
* “Industry standard” APIs for add-on products (i)
mitigating risk of drawing of value-add products into the GPL, (ii)
direct focus of OSS energy towards slowing how much code flows into
the GPL to preserve opportunity for expensive add-on
products."
