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. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
