“With 20 years of developing embedded and real-time computer
systems under his belt, Kevin Morgan, MontaVista’s Engineering vice
president, strongly believes that Open Source is a panacea for
embedded devices….”

“Morgan has bright hopes for the Open Source model’s future.
In 10 years, the current ratios of closed source software to
Open Source software will be inverted. All system software, on ALL
platforms of all types, will be Open Source
(you heard it here
first!).”

“Morgan says that his Open Source advocacy stems from years of
of working in an industry stifled by the closed source model and
set free by its antithesis. “My view here is not epiphanal; it is a
view that has grown and developed as I’ve learned more about what
customers and technology partners of MontaVista value about Open
Source, about the Linux technology and the Open Source culture, the
specific nature of the GPL, etc.”
