I have already contacted the auther, it's GPL. SuSE 7.2 also contains cpint
under the GPL.
I have cpint working on serveral systems without any problems, but I currently
don't have access to an LPAR/native Linux system to see what happens when there's
no VM.
We'll probably include the cpint kernel module in the new 2.4.16 kernel. I'll
then package the user space utilities. It would be nice if cpint supported devfs
so we don't need devfsd.
