	I see Plan 9 as a research system, just like Amoeba,
Sun's Spring... in Plan 9 (and later, Brazil) they have tried new
concepts. Now, in Inferno, you can see those concepts applied to a commercial
OS.

	I think that if they have released Plan 9 as they did, they wouldn't
mind if other OS developers used the new facilities introduced with Plan 9.

	Are those concepts (namespace manipulation, etc) covered by any patents?


	Borja.
