I was being sarcastic Timothy! I thought that was obvious but in future
I will remember to use a smiley or use <sarcasm> tags.
I do know a thing or two about open source on z/OS.

Linux is extremely highly successful open source software, and so is the
Apache HTTP Server (which IBM offers in commercially supported form as the
IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, as an example). Everybody who has WebSphere
Application Server, including WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, also
has IBM's commercially supported implementation of Jython (Python for Java)
which is geared toward scripting administrative tasks (deployments,
configurations, etc.) Which...sounds a lot like what OpenStack does.
Lots of people "risk their job(s) using something like that," every day,
already, right now. What's the problem?
