So will we soon be seeing a port of RTAI to a linux kernel module which is implemented as a separate Adeos domain, allowing RTAI apps to bypass US patent 5995745? A quick glance over that patent leaves me uncertain whether this indeed bypasses the fundamental "invention" of a "process for running a general purpose computer operating system using a real time operating system". It still looks to me like a real time operating system (Adeos) running real time and non-real time tasks with a general purpose operating system as one of the non-real time tasks... Could you summarize (for non-lawyers such as myself) how this bypasses the claims in the patent?
Hopeful is,
-Erik
