We run Ingo Molnars rt-preemption patch with modifications for our custom board done by Thomas Gleixner and us. The source code is of course available under the GPL. See also the information on our homepage: http://www.contec.at/78+M52087573ab0.0.html We don't know where in the information chain from the development team via the marketing team to linuxdevices this happened, but we want to correct any wrong impression about our company. Sorry. We want to say thanks to all the developers involved in Linux and the rt-preemption work.
