AMD: We're committed to Linux, Apr 08, 2001

Meretsky promised that AMD would fix the closed-source licence on the x86-64.org project site to port Linux to AMD's 64-bit architecture. The licence, which appears on the front page of the site, and several other pages, including downloads to Open Source tools such as GCC, should be pegged only to proprietary downloads on the site by mid-month, Meretsky said. GPL-licensed tools will have the GPL linked to their downloads.

IBM India is eyeing the Linux platform by building an entire range of systems, right from desktops to servers, which include the I and G series. The company would lead its Linux sales and marketing initiatives in the ASEAN/South Asian region from India as it sees the country as one of the largest potential growth markets for Linux in the region.
