“SGI has released more of its software to the open-source
community, trying to better fit the Linux operating system into the
company’s strategic plans.“
“SGI released software tools to help Linux work better on
machines with large amounts of disk storage and to aid programmers
in debugging Linux installed on business systems, Mountain View,
Calif.-based SGI said….”
“Currently, SGI’s edition of Linux is up to version 1.1, which
is based on SGI enhancements to Red Hat’s version of Linux. Because
of the nature of the Gnu open-source General Public License under
which Linux is released, any company may freely use the software
developed by another. However, any changes that are incorporated
into shipping products must be published for others to use as
well.”
