I think there's a little confusion here. eCos v2 has still not yet been 
released. Red Hat laid off the eCos team. All that team have now formed 
eCosCentric.

All the development now happens in the public repository at 
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos. Red Hat have their own eCos source tree 
which I guess is now out of date with respect to that. Their sources will 
not have most of the changes added since the team left Red Hat.

The members of eCosCentric all do development based on the public 
sources.redhat.com tree sources. Any customer work useful to others would 
probably be merged back into that tree (except for customer specific or 
confidential changes etc., but the GPL still applies in certain areas). 
The sources.redhat.com eCos sources are the master sources. If eCosCentric 
had its own repository for internal work, the sources.redhat.com eCos 
sources would still remain the master.

Nothing that can be called eCos v2 has yet been released. When it is 
released we want it to be a group effort from the net, but in all 
probability it is likely that eCosCentric will have the greatest burden 
since we make up the vast majority of the maintainers.
