It is not illegal. Caldera released all DR-DOS as free for
non-commercial use. It is being freely distributed by many people
on many sites. It is the pre Caldera stuff that is getting hard to
fine. Since Novell DOS 7 is just and earlier version of DR-DOS
7.0x.

Also since DR-DOS 6.0 came out in 1991, I thing it all all earlier
versions, qualify as abandonwareas well as Caldera making it free.
