I belive that IBM has the right: they were involved in the original 
Windows, and have some rights to the code. (Hence win31 support in os/2)
I may be wrong, but I belive that they still have some rights to the 
code, they just decided not to support win95. Why? Who knows. However, it 
may have something to do with the fact that big blue took over lotus :)
