I don't see a conflict here.
Just include it in price.
Besides, do you think that every company which wrote a Windows driver
has to pay Microsoft for each person who uses that driver? It's hard for
me to believe.
There obviously is a need for a pv-windows-driver, and it doesnt exist
yet. The one part the driver would connect to is the opensourced xen.
So i conclude that
- it would take an effort too big to develop the driver as open source
I don't see a single reason why a "standalone" PV Windows driver has to
be open source. It can as well be closed source.
- or closed information would be needed, only available under NDA
or smth.
XenSource already has PV drivers, so I guess they already have all
information needed.
- or parts would have to be included that had to be baught from
microsoft.
As above, XenSource already has PV drivers, so if they paid for it,
they've paid already.
