Not too long ago, Robert Szeleney put the development of SkyOS on a temporary hold. The challenges in keeping up with the ever-changing world of hardware support were simply too big to continue SkyOS then-current development model. As a result, Szeleney recently came up with the idea of using a Linux or NetBSD kernel as the base for SkyOS. Well, we've got a progress report on that one, and in true Szeleney fashion, a lot of work has already been done.

"Will using the Linux Kernel force Robert to publish his source code? Just being curious."
Yes, if he's actually changing the kernel. No, not if he's just writing various daemons to provide app compat.

Changing the kernel code has no effect on if the proprietary SkyOS code needs to be GPL'd too. It's only the changes in the kernel he needs to release, whilst the rest can remain closed.
