RE: Check this out. iSeries Access for Linux!!

Even if they decided to support SuSE and Turbo, there are still dozens on
Linux distros that they don't support.  Even if they made it work on every
Linux, it still wouldn't work on the BSDs, Solaris, OS X, etc, etc.

I wish IBM would release these things as open source products!   Then,
none of these compatibilty issues would be a problem.   What does it gain
IBM to make their free software proprietary?   Why limit people if they're
not going to make money on it anyway?

Or were they planning to charge for the Linux versions in the future?
