Regarding Wensong's allegations of the code being all his work, the
restriction to a certain kernel (the reason is technical, not legal),
why the cost is so high, I recommend you first review the Linux HA
mailing list archive (to avoid rehashing here what's been gone over).

Mailing list archive can be accessed from
<URL:http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=linux-ha&r=1&w=2#linux-ha>

and the main URL relating to this mailing list is at
<URL:http://www.henge.com/~alanr/ha/>

Most of the discussion related to this have message dates from
1999-05-12 to 1999-05-14.
