“XLNS Research hopes to make the majority of its revenues by
selling or licensing its present and future proprietary LNS
technology to established microprocessor and software firms. In
order to stimulate demand for these products, XLNS is presently
developing LNS software that is based on public domain LNS
technology. This software will eventually be distributed at low /
no cost as per the “open source software” business model. As noted
by Mr. Arnold, “The GNU and Linux operating systems have achieved
considerable success with open source software, and I hope that
this strategy will also enable XLNS Research to achieve comparable
success with my patent.”
