To answer one of the questions which was posed today,
all three of the products (Vega, DI guy and AI implant)
do indeed run on Linux.
Of course, there is still the licensing issue to resolve,
as only AI implant has a license which would allow parceling this out to
distributed compute farms.
The DI Guy kinematics will supposedly run under any OpenGL or Performer
environment (like, say, openSceneGraph),
so that could take care of the base simulation environment licensing needs,
although a fair amount of middleware would need to be handled.
