Yeah...theres a article on osnews.com about GoBEs plan to bring back their
product and purchase the rights to the BeOS codebase.
So much for using it fer free :(
I thought the head of BeInc open sourced BeOS more or less a few years ago?

They ain't buying BeOS.

It would be kind of pointless anyway since it's practically
abandonware now. Haiku will eventually surpass it in functionality.

I hope haiku revives BeSANE. Scanner support is kinda shakey...
