So you're saying OS/X was an uncompetitive before going to Open Source?
I'm not, btw.
(My understanding is that OSX/Darwin forked off the existing and once healthy Open BSD effort. Don't hear much about it these days, alas.)
I was referring to end-of-life-cycle products like Informix, Star Office, etc...
When you see a commercial product dumped into the Open Source arena, oftentimes its because the alternative was Chapter 7 or 13. Sometimes a miracle happens; more often it just continues the death-spiral into irrelevance...
