- Caution: {\em commercial} doesn't mean {\em proprietary!}
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Vendors play fair with the GPL and do make their source code
- available to their users, and most of the time, eventually to the
- community.
- \begin{itemize}
- \item As long as they distribute the sources to their users, the
- GPL doesn't require vendors to share their sources with any
- third party.
- \end{itemize}
- \item Graphical toolkits developed by the vendors are usually
- proprietary, trying to make it easier to create and embedded Linux
- systems.
- \item Major players: Wind River, Montavista, TimeSys
- \end{itemize}

- \begin{itemize}
- \item Technical advantages
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Well tested and supported kernel and tool versions
- \item Often supporting patches not supported by the
- mainline kernel yet (example: real-time patches)
- \end{itemize}
- \item Complete development tool sets: kernels, toolchains,
- utilities, binaries for impressive lists of target platforms
- \item Integrated utilities for automatic kernel image, initramfs
- and filesystem generation.

- \begin{itemize}
- \item Graphical developments tools
- \item Development tools available on multiple platforms: GNU /
- Linux, Solaris, Windows...
- \item Support services
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Useful if you don't have your own support resources
- \item Long term support commitment, even for versions considered
- as obsolete by the community, but not by your users!

- {\bf Commercial distributions and tool sets}
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Best if you don't have your own support resources and have a
- sufficient budget
- \item Help focusing on your primary job: making an embedded device.
- \item You can even subcontract driver development to the vendor
- \end{itemize}
- {\bf Community distributions and tools}
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Best if you are on a tight budget
- \item Best if you are willing to build your own embedded Linux
- expertise, investigate issues by yourselves, and train your own
- support resources.
- \end{itemize}
- In any case, your products are based on Free Software!
