   It's not IBM, it's Microsoft.  M$ still owns a lot of the OS/2 code (and why   
   they chose to use it to create NT, et cetera).  From what I've heard from   
   IBM insiders--now this is going on the better part of twenty years ago but I   
   am safely assuming this is still true--M$ is afraid if OS/2 was open   
   sourced, they'd wind up getting an open-sourced OS/2-Windows hybrid that   
   they'd lose to. XD
