'The term "MVS" in this context means the letter M, the letter V and
the letter S, in that order.

More than one.

OS/VS2 Release 3.8 was the last free MVS[1], and TSO was a part of it.
There were various products that enhanced the free base, including
MVS/SE and TSO Command Package. These were later bundled into larger
products, e.g., MVS/SP subsumed MVS/SE, DFP subsumed DF/DS and TSO/E
subsumed the TSO Command Package. Eventually IBM got rid of the free
base.
[1] There were later free selectable units and service upgrades,
but no new free release.
