Who uses Genode What is the use case? When should I use it?

Presumably you use it if you want its advertised feature of providing a highly secure operating system. Does it matter who else uses it, particularly if it provides an advantage over people who don't?

Yes it matters because I don't have an overview of the project. Hence I asked.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ok, if anyone considers me simply calling the AGPLv3 as objectionable for any commercial business software as FUD. I’d encourage them to do their own research and make their own decisions. I’ve decided it’s not worth the hassle and the legal risk. It’s never been litigated and it basically prevents a business from demonstrating a product without giving the product to a potential customer. Which in the world of custom…

You could try paying for it: https://genode.org/commercial-use/index Or do you also consider all closed source software and paid software services to also be objectionable for use by any commercial business?

>You could try paying for it

Exactly...for demos agpl should not be a problem, for full proprietary/commercial just pay them.

But hey since i don't like lawyers..just bsd/mit/isc for me ;)
