RISC OS 5.12 released with price tag
,----[ Quote ]
| A fortnight after announcing plans to share the RISC OS 5 source
| code, developers Castle have slapped a 69 quid price tag on their
| latest OS upgrade. The news has lead to some confusion over the
| future direction of the operating system, and fuelled concern
| that crucial components of RISC OS 5 will remain closed source
| as chargeable updates.

Sounds a bit like Apple's kernel and Sun's OpenSolaris. Many
operating systems go Open Source (at least partially). Who
will it be next? Symbian, Windows, the Unixes... Palm OS is
already slated to be replaced by Linux... Hurd and BSD's
are already there... DOS has leaked through Google's code
search and FreeDOS 1.0 is ready...
