DrDOS Inc Breaking GPL

Posted by Hemos on from the bad-news-bears dept.

Bob Dobbs writes "DR-DOS 8.1 (DrDOS Inc) came out at the begining of this month, however instead of an upgrade to DR-DOS 8.0 the new product is based on work available on the internet. The work includes shareware utilities, a badly patched version of the kernel work by Udo Kuhnt, drivers (Samsung, ESS) and utilities from FreeDOS and others (e.g. pkzip). Full information on the FreeDOS site. (Cheers FreeDOS!)"

    No, but I think Adobe is going to announce the availability of Photoshop for the Amiga.

    What the hell?

    Does the City of Lindon, UT have some kind of freaky Euclidean or Cartesian layout plan?

    That at least would make it easy to calculate absolute distances between addresses. Especially if you memorized all the easy Pythagorean triangles.

    Manufacturers have their own windows-based flashers

    Somehow, that just reads... ... wrong.

    ...where everybody has a detailed map of everything in their car.

    You would think that they would know where everything in their car is.
