Nice to see some retro people interested in legal issues :-)
Which reminds me...The other day I was looking for assistance in cleanrooming some pieces of MS-DOS 2.11 and 3.x so that I had an option for systems where FreeDOS might be less than ideal (like PCs with only 256K RAM, such as my first couple were). I got a "why not use the DR DOS 7.01 / leaked MS-DOS 6 beta source?" - yeah, they might be *useful*, but they won't be *legitimate* which is what I wanted.
(I'm actually curious whether MS could be convinced to release any of their older BASIC tools, or MS-DOS 3.3, under a truly open license as they did with the 2.11 base code. I'd like to do some experiments with GW-BASIC and QBASIC.)
-uso.
