Tried looking in github, project-specific pages, wikipedia and still have no clue:
What does OMR stand for?
runtime?
Doesn't seem to stand for anything (at least it's not defined in the project charter).
If I had to guess at it:
Open Meta-Runtime
But I could see how that might be misinterpreted compared to their goals. Not all cap names are acronyms?
It stands for Open Managed Runtime.
Is the Open really open, as in acceptable license that won't hold it back from gaining adoption in OSS and Enterprise community - or - are there licensing, patents or other proprietary strings attached?
