I have an OS/2 Warp poster on my wall.
They should have open sourced the OS/2 code a decade ago IMHO.
IBM was stuck being dependent on Microsoft for permission to run Windows 95
apps in OS/2... A bad position to be in, whenever you're dependent on a
competitor to run your own software.

Well, SQL Server is only returning to where it began life (as a port of
Sybase). From Wikipedia:
1988: Sybase, Microsoft, and Ashton-Tate port the Sybase RDBMS to the OS/2
platform. Microsoft markets the new product as SQL Server.
1993: Sybase and Microsoft dissolve their partnership. Microsoft got a
copy of the SQL Server code base. Sybase SQL Server version 4.2 and
Microsoft SQL Server are identical. Their Transact-SQL (T-SQL) procedural
language is the same, as is the basic process architecture. From this point
there was divergence as Microsoft included more Windows features ...
