Fun fact: Arca Noae doesn't even have access to the source code for OS/2. All enhancements to the core OS are implemented as drivers or binary patches.

- mdaniel 4y agoThat's amazing; do you have a citation for that? Also, how does that work given their $129 price tag? I have to separately buy a license to OS/2 and then their software modifies the distributed binaries?
- ch_123 4y agoThis was discussed in an interview between Bryan Lunduke and the founder of Arca Noae which is sadly no longer online. No - when you buy a copy of ArcaOS you get an OS/2 license. Arca Noae have an agreement with IBM to resell OS/2 licenses, they just don't have access to the source code.
