It seems to be what some are trying to do with the OSFree project - a clone
of IBM's OS/2 Warp ver 4.  http://www.osfree.org
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/osfree . I am hoping those working on
OSFree (and ReactOS) won't heed those words/comments since it might
bring both under scrutiny of SCO who seems to want to destroy Linux.
