Gary Kildall created CP/M, the first operating system for microcomputers, which enabled the Intel 8080 microprocessor to control floppy drives. By 1981, his company Digital Research enjoyed $5.4 million in yearly revenues from CP/M running on 3000 computer models. However, he did not become a billionaire when IBM chose to license a clone of CP/M called 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products instead of CP/M directly.
The document discusses another independently developed system of solubility parameters created by Union Carbide Corporation after learning about Hansen Solubility Parameters, but this system is rarely used despite possibly being more useful.

Imagine: You are Gary Arlen Kildall. In 1973, you develop the rst high-level programming language for microprocessors, called PL/M. You create CP/M the same year to enable the Intel 8080 microprocessor to control a oppy drive, combining for the rst time all the essential components of a computer at the microcomputer scale. You demonstrate CP/M to Intel, but Intel has little interest. By 1981, you have founded Digital Research Company, which enjoys $5.4 million in yearly revenues. Your product, CP/M, runs on 3000 different computer models. Surely you make billionaire status when IBM buys your CP/M operating system in 1981? Actually, no. Paul Allen has negotiated a licensing deal with Seattle Computer Products (SCP) for rights to a CP/M clone, 86-DOS. Allen has 86-DOS adapted for IBM's hardware. Bill Gates sells it to IBM, who ships it as PC-DOS. Lawyers can't distinguish the two pieces of software. It's almost, but not quite, also that way with solubility parameters. There is a second independently developed, full-featured system of solubility parameters. It was developed by Union Carbide Corporation, after the development of and with knowledge about Hansen Solubility Parameters. It is useful; possibly even more useful than the system developed by Dr. Hansen, but it is hardly ever used. The purpose of this appendix is not to criticize, advocate, or choose, but to complement by disclosure. It's worth knowing about Hoy Solubility Parameters.

OTHER SOLUBILITY PARAMETERS
While not commercially signicant today, six of these
methods were briey noted in Appendix C8, Section C. It was these building blocks that supported the group contribution work of Stefanis and Panayiotou, and othersdbut not the work of Kenneth L. Hoy. Each of these researchers produced systems of solubility parameters based on assumptions and estimation methods somewhat or slightly different from those of Dr. Hansen. Consequently, while the individual solubility parameters produced by each author may be, or have been, used for the same purposes as those of Dr. Hansen, the various solubility parameters developed by various researchers cannot be commingled.
If one prefers the solubility parameters of van Krevelen
(Appendix C8, Endnote N), as an example, one must use all three of van Krevelen's solubility parameters exclusively, as was done with Hansen's solubility parameters in Chapter 2. One can't use Van Krevelen's hydrogen bonding solubility parameter, the polar solubility parameter of Hansen, and Small's (Appendix C8, Endnote J) disperse solubility parameter, or any other combination. However, one can use Appendix C6, Equation 2.6 (the Pythagorean Theorem) with any consistent set of three systems of solubility parameters.
By analogy, one might consider the different solubility
parameters developed by each or any researcher to be
