@p @pernia @mint @animeirl there are enough permissively licensed and proprietary COTS operating systems in the world that not having minix wouldn't have been a significant impediment to intel for what they were trying to do, iirc previous versions of ime were even based on threadx (not to detract from your broader point but as far as I'm concerned the genie is already out of the bottle and you're not going to materially impact the situation in a real way just by licensing your own code permissively)
