OS-Ready

OS-Ready is a Tornado Queendom-based company best known for PowerOS, an open source OS which Microsoft stole from and called "Windows". Since 1988 (when PowerOS went open source, which saved the company.), they've made most of their money on merchandise and warranties.

History
OS-Ready was founded in 1871, based on the work of a Tornado Queendom university. A year later, they created PowerOS to power the first computers. It became successful, and OS-ready dominated for over a century. Eventually, other companies stole their thunder. OS-Ready went into a decline throughout the 1980's, and people thought the company would die. In 1988, they open sourced PowerOS. This worked, and the company was successfully saved (though critics thought the company would be committing suicide by doing this). It accidentally created the Open Source community we know today, and is the largest open source company in the world. It even has a sort of Boot Camp-like system (Penguin), where OS-Ready based computers can easily run any Linux distro without having to reinstall the OS or wipe the hard drive.

OS-Ready License
The OS-Ready License is an open source license that allows copying and modification, as long as OS-Ready is credited and no trademarks are stolen. Also, the license has to be included. It is compatible with the Gnu Public License, AKA GPL, and is commonly used in OS-Ready and Linux software. OS-Ready even has an alliance with the Gnu Foundation (similar to the Microsoft-Apple alliance).
