OWL was not created by Borland
AFAIK, OWL was originally the framework that came with Actor, a language by the Whitewater Group. Borland only licensed it from them. I don't know about the licensing for later versions, i.e. if that was further developed by Borland, or also licensed from the Whitewater group.
