You can read about it in Mary Jo Foley's article at zdnet: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/zdnn_display/0,3440,2110597,00.html The actual text of the letter can be seen at: http://www.essential.org/antitrust/ms/lvgjun8.html Now, as OS/2 users we know that IBM will not release the OS/2 source due to its use with their major customers, but perhaps a little pressure right now will change the course of OS/2's future.
