Be Shareholders Approve Sale to Palm

Hopefully Palm will announce something about either a new BeOS version or licensing the source to the BeUnited crew."
Unfortunately it can't be open-sourced because if the amount of licensed code in it that would be nigh-on impossible to strip out. However, there are some projects underway such as OpenBeOS to reproduce the API open source.
