I agree. Even if a decision to use eCos is made on technical merits, it's
unknown current standing is enough of a problem for a product/program
manager to reach down and nix a decision to use it. Before RedHat chucked
it, commercial OS companies already seemed to have a sales-call routine down
sling FUD if eCos came up ("eCos? Oh that's just a shareware thing, isn't
it?"). Every day the ecos "brand" is in limbo, it will suffer in terms of
design wins, and ultimately, user community.
