Yes IBM couldn't open source OS/2 because there were at least 300+ third party commercial licensed pieces of code that it used to make it happen. They would have to get permission from them all to open source their code. Besides OSFree there is also the Voyager project: http://voyager.netlabs.org/ http://voyager.netlabs.org/ Voyager takes on a Star Trek name because OS/2 3.0 was named Warp and IBM tried to use Star Trek to market it. I'd like to see the OS/2 API calls in a WINE type environment for GNU/Linux to run OS/2 code under Linux and other operating systems. It would be easier than providing driver support for modern hardware.
