It's true. It is a bastardized version of ComOS. I'm not sure if they have
kept the same source tree or not. Last I heard, they had started with an
earlier version, but I guess that if their license permits, they may update
when Livingston does. I believe that they just renewed the license in late
last year or early this year. Livingston was suing them for continued usage
after their license expired.
