OS/2 is perhaps not the best example, as early on it was a MS/IBM collaborative project. And even afterwards it had the economic backing of IBM. So if MS got overt about it, there would likely have been a lawsuit.

There is less risk of such from Linux. Even at their current size, RH is a flea next to MS.

That OS/2 2.0 fiasco used to be my favorite topic and I do have bad things to say against MS about it.
