| [[en:about|osFree]] is a [[wp>FOSS|Free Open Source software]] operating system development project, aiming to replace eventually all [[en:os_2|OS/2]] subsystems with Open source analogues. It aims for [[wp>OS/2]] Warp 4 (Merlin) as a base compatibility system, which does not mean that we will not support features of newer (OS/2 Warp Server for e-business, [[wp>eComStation]] and [[wp>ArcaOS]]) [[wp>OS/2]] versions. This includes rewriting not only user-level code but the [[en:os_2|OS/2]] kernel too. | [[en:about|osFree]] is a [[wp>FOSS|Free Open Source software]] operating system development project, aiming to replace eventually all [[en:os_2|OS/2]] subsystems with Open source analogues.
