Sixth question (this is meant well - I'm a big SkyOS fan)

** Why on earth not a dual license instead of the insane closed source approach? **

I truly believe that SkyOS would stand a better chance than, say, Haiku at surviving as an "alternative" OS and at attracting developers if it was open, at least having an open "community" version which would include the kernel and drivers, but zero or few apps (I'm sure there are other commerical models, including service, etc)
