--- Quote from: Martin Iturbide on September 13, 2014, 07:52:39 am ---What it will be great as a start is to have the eCS-OS2 implementation of JFS-boot complete open sourced. I asked that once to Mensys and they told me that the source code of it was provided in part by IBM, so they can not release it, which it seems odd since IBM released JFS as open source to be included on Linux, but who knows.

IBM did the same thing with Object REXX when they released it... they did not release the OS/2 code even though REXXLA tried to get them to do so at the time.

Dave Yeo:
The rumour I heard was that the OS/2 version of Object Rexx had been forked long before and that was the reason it was not included with the open source version.

I think they had been forked long before and the OS/2 portion was owned by a different IBM group who would not release it.  Back when all that was happening we had some REXXLA members attending Warpstock that were at least tangentially involved with the process.
