I wrote a story about this on the Register:
https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/15/cpm_open_source/

Bryan Sparks (president of DRDOS Inc, which is still around) has given
official permission for the modification and distribution of "CP/M and
derivatives". It's on the Unofficial CP/M Web Site:
http://www.cpm.z80.de/license.html

Since CP/M-86 is a derivative of CP/M, as is DR-DOS, Concurrent DOS,
Multiuser DOS and so on, this would seem to be an important legal
precedent.

No, it is not a proper FOSS license. That takes lawyers and lawyers cost money.

But it's the next best thing and I suspect as good as we will ever get.
