It's Boisy (to borrow Phill's expression) :)

Yes, the idea is that NitrOS-9 is free and for everyone, and is in no 
way tied to Cloud-9, other than the fact that we sell copies for a 
small fee.  Clearly, anyone who wants NitrOS-9 may go to 
www.nitros9.org and download their own copy.  And the source code is 
open for everyone to see, so the project is transparent.

I cannot say that the improvements to NitrOS-9 haven't in some way been 
related to Cloud-9 products.  Obviously, SuperDriver is only as good as 
it is because I was able to make changes to RBF and format, something 
that would have been difficult to do before.  But I believe the changes 
have made the operating system better.  Clearly, not having to go 
through the formula headache when formatting a hard drive is a big 
relief.
