Foundation earlier this year, but continues to invest heavily in
Moblin technology development, and Moblin software can be licensed
by anyone willing to abide by the terms of its open source license.

Intel’s launch, as at least one journalist predicted back in April?

it’s a two-way street. Intel actually stands to gain something
significant from any serious effort to port Moblin technology to
ARM.”
