Errr ... ummm ... I haven't read the copyright laws recently, but
I'm afraid that unless our friend <G> Bill relinquishes them, he
still has full rights over M$-DOS (actually, IBM had joint rights to
some parts, but these may have been re-written by Bill's crowd).
In other words, you can't legally do your own distribution! If Lineo
won't let you distribute DR-DOS, your only option (that I'm aware
of) is FreeDOS. Sorry.

Joe.
