Politics behind kvm inclusion decision?

I've seen some articles mention that Xen wanted to be included in the kernel for years, and instead a fairly new component, KVM, gets included.

I was wondering what the background/politics that lead to decision are? It might be an interesting addition to this article.

I'm thinking it's because Xen made a deal with Microsoft - certainly, that seems to be what the latest Linux Format magazine is implying...

  • What OS can run under the VM?
  • What's the license on the code? GPL or other?

I couldn't access the project homepage or else I would have looked it up myself. - Taxman Talk 18:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
