They keep all of their releases internal to their branched version of eCos, eCosPro. The commercial arm of RTEMS (OAR Corporation) has not branched from RTEMS, so all of their contributions and releases are within the public tree. > By the way, do you now any more-or-less free RTOS that provides support > for privilege levels and process protection? > I believe there was some talk on the RTEMS mailing list about getting something similar to VxWorks' RTPs going within RTEMS. I don't know if this ever came to fruition.
