Stuart Cohen Open Quotations

Linux provides mobile device manufacturers with a powerful platform and unmatched inter-operability, to deliver new capabilities in advanced handsets. In much the same way that the OSDL Carrier Grade Linux working group helped accelerate Linux adoption in telecommunications network infrastructure, we believe that MLI will create the ideal forum where device manufacturers, network operators and developers can focus specifically on Linux and open source applications, to move mobile handsets to the next level of functionality and profitability.

We hope that there are tens and hundreds more companies that will pledge patents to open source in the future.

We believe that the Mobile Linux Initiative will create the ideal forum where device manufacturers, network operators and developers can focus specifically on Linux and open source applications to move mobile handsets to the next level of functionality and profitability,

With his knowledge of the Linux and open source marketplace, Dave can help OSDL deliver on its mission of bringing together industry, developers and customers to advance Linux,

If making these patents available in a single library accelerates the use of open source software and spurs innovation... separate and distinct from that is the whole patent reform issue.
