FOSS for OS/2: Keeping the flame alive Print E-mail
Posted by Kim Haverblad - Wednesday, 15 February 2006

NewsForge has published an article about OS2 with focus on the open source projects going on within the OS2 community by Bruce Byfield.

After a decade of neglect and increasingly reluctant support from IBM, the manufacturer, the OS/2 community persists. Where users of GNU/Linux or FreeBSD have turned to free and open source software (FOSS) for political and philosophical freedom and software quality, the surviving OS/2 community has been turning to FOSS as a means of defending members' right to use the operating system of their choice. The result is a small but surprisingly diverse collection of projects that, to a GNU/Linux user, is a mixture of the familiar and exotic.

The full article can be found here.
