One thing I think could be an opportunity for Microware LP would be having some sort of limited licensing program for folks like us who would be interested in working with it and porting stuff over. I have been learning stuff at my day job (CAN bus, SPI bus, etc.) that seem like they would be really easy to implement on OS-9, but never were (though CAN bus came up from time to time). There is so much more reference code out there these days -- and stuff that runs on little 16-bit Arduinos or TI MSP430s  in straight C -- like USB stacks and the like. We might be able to contribute quite a bit if we had access to the OS and tools.
