I've got to admit that if Palm gives the source of BeOS to the "Phoenix Group"
or any other, I'd buy the new release. It is almost guaranteed to be binary as
well as source level compatible. And hopefully it would fix the currently
existings bugs (or "limitations") as well as bringing some new drivers in. I
wouldn't give up hope on OpenBeOS though :)
