Just a little bit more on this: NICTA was originally set up as a research group by the Australian Government with the explicit mandate of commercialising its research.
The OKL4 and seL4 microkernels developed by NICTA were commercialised through the company Open Kernel Labs, which was subsequently acquired by General Dynamics (who thus acquired the IP of both projects).
At NICTA, we are very happy to see seL4 finally being open sourced: we really do want to see our work be used as widely as possible, and open sourcing it is going to be the best way of this happening. (So, in response to the grandparent thread, that is why we are making a big fanfare: we are excited, even if nobody else is.)
The seL4 kernel currently supports the ARMv6, ARMv7 and x86 architectures, though the proof only applies to ARMv6.
I am not sure what Genode's plans are. seL4 is a different kernel to OKL4, with a substantially different API, so it will be quite some work to move it across from OKL4 to seL4.
