I did the Cradle port while at RedHat during April 2001. Cradle had a
very primitive stab at the HAL which is presumably what this
assignment covers. The HAL I did was written from scratch, not using
any of the original Cradle code.
Ownership of the Cradle HAL is somewhat confused since it went to
Cradle under the old RHEPL. It was also, at the time, covered by a
whole bunch of NDAs. Both RedHat and Cradle have some claim over the
HAL and it would require both of them to agree to contribute it to the
public repository.
So, I don't think that this assignment has any meaning any more.
