Politics behind kvm inclusion decision?

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.104.34.212 (talk) 14:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC).Reply

• 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

I've updated the page considerably to reflect the progress currently made. Feedback would be useful here. Provided that there are no objections to the current content, I'd like to extend it more in the near future.--Anthony Liguori 00:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
