	[ale] OpenDOS press release
		The OpenDOS binary is based on DOS 7 technology acquired from Novell in 1996 and provides a mainstream, no-cost OS for research and education.
		Caldera's release of the OpenDOS binary and source to the Internet allows companies and individuals to use and develop OpenDOS for future use in their own products.
		OpenDOS also enhances the ability of embedded systems like Network Computers, NetPCs, kiosks, etc. by allowing OEMs and VARs to use well-known technology as a base for their own solutions.

	OpenDOS - The Wordbook Encyclopedia
		OpenDOS is a freeware DOS-like and MS-DOS-compatible operating system.
		Only the source code to OpenDOS 7.02 remains available and the company took later development back in-house to produce OpenDOS 7.03.
		When Lineo was acquired by Metrowerks, the DOS product line was bought out by some of Lineo's former management, who formed a new company, DeviceLogics, to continue its development and marketing - see the article on DR-DOS for more information.

	Caldera OpenDOS - A fresh breeze in DOS technology
		With OpenDOS 7.01 the very efficient NWCACHE (which can dynamically lean its memory to other DOS applications when running into low memory conditions) also had a higher version number (1.02), but the file did not contain the fixes in the statistics overview, that have been implemented with Novell's update to NWCACHE 1.01.
		It has been said, that there have been 19.000 downloads within the first three days of availability of OpenDOS 7.01, and about 2.000.000 copies sold until September 1997, which was more than being expected, and clearly is in the contrary to some 'trendsetters' saying DOS was dead.
		OpenDOS is not FreeDOS, which is under the GPL.

	OpenDOS - Definition, explanation
		OpenDOS is a free (though not free software) MS-DOS-compatible operating system.
		The DOS product line was then sold off to a separate company, at that time known as Caldera Systems, owned by former Novell CEO Ray Noorda's investment firm The Canopy Group.
		Caldera renamed Novell DOS to OpenDOS and initiated a program of source code release, to link OpenDOS to Caldera's other OS, OpenLinux, a distribution of the Linux Unix-like OS.

		Even if you have an MSDN account, Microsoft only offers the upgrade version of MS-DOS 6.22 for download, so you would need the original installation media for MS-DOS 5 or MS-DOS 6, which, if you ever purchased it legally, is probably sitting in a landfill or has been recycled into pillow stuffing by now.
		No, if you want to install DOS on a computer today, it has to be Caldera OpenDOS.
		Unable to make actual money from DR-DOS as a PC operating system, Caldera renamed it OpenDOS, attempted to market it as an embedded development system, and then released the PC version for free and under an Open Source license.
