"Because we have plans for having Linux on board [the PS3], we also recognize Linux programming activities... Other than game studios tied to official developer licenses, we'd like to see various individuals participate in content creation for the PS3."
"When a game studio enacts development on a PS3 by entering a license contract, SDK libraries... will be presented, and various technical support given. In contrast, when using Linux World on the PS3... support will fall to the lowest level required, and you must solve and work on things by yourselves."
This is not the PlayStation brand's first foray into Linux-based homebrew, as Sony sold a PlayStation 2 Linux Kit available that spawned a community around it and even saw several completed homebrew games.
