Interesting synchronicity. I have just been engaged in a quite civilized discussion over email with an HP contractor that was looking to incorporate the multithreaded Ganymede scheduler classes in a piece of commercial software for HP. We quickly got into some of the same issues that are being discussed in the VirtualDub case as to what constitutes linking, etc. I found myself surprised that knowledge of precisely how the GPL worked wasn't ubiquitous throughout the tech world.

Sometimes I forget how unusual the situation in working for a university laboratory is, compared to the "real world."

Came back by advogato tonight and for the first time spent a bit of time creating a project page for Ganymede and generally checking things out.

I have for the last few months been putting the finishing touches on Ganymede, and a really very robust and well polished 1.0 feels like it's right around the corner. All of my change log for the last few months have been isolated bug fixes, resource usage improvements, and fit and polish improvements to the GUI.

Unfortunately, things at the lab are busy enough that system administration tasks around this place are at a higher priority than stamping Ganymede with the 1.0 rubber chicken, but I'm still awfully happy with where the code is now.
