(Original story: slashdot.org - "DrDOS Breaking GPL")
DrDOS, a company that markets a clone of the Microsoft Disk Operating System (MSDOS) for x86 computers, may or may not have taken code that is liscensed under the GNU Public Liscense for commercial purposes without proper citation or documentation. This page from the FreeDOS project documents the alleged abuses of the GNU Public Liscense. The abuses are quite extensive.
Further details to follow. The day when the GPL would be abused like this was coming anyway...but...*shrug* This sucks.
