I did a google search but am concerned that the information about OS2 is
either dated or slanted.
Search results revealed the following. Somebody please comment on the
accuracy.
OS2 is not totally open source because some of the code that it uses is
Microsoft proprietary code. Although something called OSFree is being
developed, it is not ready for prime time. That means that it is not
GPL.
OS/2 isn't open source, or linux, and is also finally no longer
supported by IBM, so probably way too off topic for this group / list.
It might make a good dinner time discussion if you are there next week.
