According to this ZDNet UK article, over 10,000 have asked IBM to open the OS/2 source code, seeing as they're discontinuing things having to do with that OS.
IBM, for their part, would rather you migrate to Linux, and with good reason. As a matter of fact, it's the same reason they won't open the code. Linux is complete. OS/2 open-sourced would not be. Why? Remember who IBM partnered with to produce OS/2? Microsoft, that's who. And somehow I can't see MS going along with this one because some fundamental Windows stuff would be let into the wild.
I guess we'll have to go back to our Angelina Jolie daydreams. This one is full of holes.
