The OpenDOS licence agreement expressly prohibits the copying of OpenDOS
onto any computer for further reproduction or distribution. Thus, anyone
who makes the software available on a BBS or ftp site would be liable for
breach of contract, and presumably for violation of copyright law as well.
There may of course be other grounds of criminal and/or civil liability
that would apply in such a case.

I am not an expert in this area and would suggest that anyone who is
contemplating action that might conceivably amount to a breach of any law
or of the licence agreement should first obtain advice from a lawyer.

Jason White.
