It seems that [[Red Hat]] was the first to implement KVM, but does that make it proprietary? The way the article was written implies that it is simply a framework, and any kernel can be used to mimic a machine in virtual space.[[User:Rajpaj|Rajpaj]] ([[User talk:Rajpaj|talk]]) 06:45, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
::KVM was written by [[Qumranet]], before [[Red hat]] acquired it. Because it is free software, part of the [[Linux kernel]], '''any''' company, not just [[Red hat]] can use it or modify it - so it is by no means proprietary. [[Red hat]] does have on its payroll all the influential KVM developers, so it has significant leverage on the direction that its development is taking, but nothing is preventing other companies from chipping in. In fact, yesterday, an alliance was formed by several companies (Redhat, IBM, HP, Intel, and others) that want to develop and promote KVM - see [http://www.openvirtualizationalliance.org/news/] [[User:Nyh|Nyh]] ([[User talk:Nyh|talk]]) 14:11, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
