There is nothing with which to compare Microsoft. They have
established a low point yet matched.

The BSD license is scattered all through AIX -- although a strong
argument could be made that it's not really SYSV. I think it's a very
BSD-like OS with some unusual integrated applications.

Their SPs wouldn't function without free software -- kerberos,
automounter, perl and tcl. I think they've been good about it. They
even include source with the SP software.
