A comment on Linux Foundation to support Zephyr microkernel.

With today's multi-core soc, one can easily partition out one core for Zephyr. Anything real time related can move to this RTOS on its own core.

This is great approach especially with Linux Foundation behind it.

I am curious on what kind of License will it be released under, GPL?

Con: there can be zero cross-pollination between Linux and Zephyr without relicensing, because Apache 2.0 and GPLv2 are incompatible.
