>>Would that be royalties or licenses?<<

Voop,

Let me try and answer that...

From what I understand, WINd's business model for VxWorks and IxWorks is predicated on run-time royalties and if memory serves me right, they range from around $1.50 to $5.00 per unit, according to a recent Jerry Fiddler quote, the source of which escapes me at the present time. And for the Tornado tools and TMS, it is based on a license fee.

Therefore, a billion units x $1.50 minimum, translates into a cool $1.50 Billion in royalty payments. I guess I can live with that...

:)

Khan or somebody else please correct me if I am wrong...

Karim
