Re: L4-hurd discuss

[Leonardo Pereira]

looking to this fight about licenses and kernels, I
will ask to somebody that want to look to one
microkernel called Gemini Nucleus, it is based on some
concepts of the L4, Eros and Exokernel. I think that
it is, at least, interesting. Oh, it is GPLed and is
write in 'C'.
