I don't know if it's still available, but pts dos has source that you're 
allowed to use in your projects.  I haven't looked at it recently, so I 
don't remember what license it was released under, (if any) but I do 
recall that as long as you held a license for pts dos, you were free to 
use the source for your own projects, so that may be an option for you, 
even though I don't remember the dtails.  I will have to dig out my copy 
and see what it said about distribution, I don't remember what that part 
of the license said.  As I said, it's been quite some time. :)

 Sorry for the link I haven't used thus machine to send emails in a long
 time.  The antivirus tags it with it.  I had suspected that I wouldn't
 be able to kernel merge, but it's nice to have thoughts. The multiuser
 will have to wait whilst I wait on the response from Caldera,  They have
 an open source codebase that is not gpl compatible.

the Caldera DRDOS is not very open at all; they published the source
for the kernel exactly once, with no source release before or after.

 Maybe they would
 change the licensing or discuss possibilities since I asked.
extremely unlikely; other people tried this (~10 years ago)

 I could
 ask for the DOS 4.0 codebase instead.  Seems reasonable.

good luck, but don't hold your breath

Tom
