| Castle and RISC OS Open Ltd have revealed their ambitious plan to release
| the source code of various RISC OS 5 components. Under a so-called
| 'shared source initiative', a phased release of RISC OS is promised to
| take place over the next few months - starting with applications
| including Paint, Edit, Draw, Configure, Unicode, the web browser Browse,
| and the printer manager. The Shared C Library and RISC OS build scripts
| will also be released, according to CTL and ROS Open.

Their head manager has been talking about and pondering Open Source for a
while. Last month he was discussing the merits and the financial impact of
OS.
As a side note, this morning I came across an abscure standalone O/S (not
Web-based and not ReactOS). Have a look:
