Hi there,
I'd just like to clarify something here (and most definetely I don't want to
start any kind of flame-war):

This is simply not true. The reason that I can give such an authorative answer
is that I personally participated in the design of the product for
TurboLinux. The design of the code for TurboClusterServer 4.0 was done
completely from scratch (indeed Turbolinux put such a requirement to us before
we even started the design). To clarify even further, the TCS 4.0 consists of
several pieces of SW -- kernel and user space. In particular, the kernel-space
is under GPL and can be found on their ftp site somewhere.
I hope this clarifies the missunderstanding.
Regards,
Andrej
