RTLinux patent



Hi,

the package rtlinux contains RTLinux. This is a real-time layer below the
Linux kernel to provide a Linux operating system with real-time capabilities.

In the documentation of version 3.0 of RTLinux a patent is mentioned
(US Patent No. 5,995,745). This patent covers the underlying principle of
RTLinux.

Thus, the use of RTLinux has legal restrictions, and RTLinux must be removed
from Debian.
