I've got the book on it, and yes, it's GPLed. There's also RxDOS, which is
also GPLed.
Nobody's so stupid as to "release" a disassembled MS-DOS out onto the Internet
as their own work - people do have standards - or at least, none of the
F/LOSS people would. ReactOS has had a few attempts made to sequester their
hard work and pass it off as someone else's. As had a few other F/LOSS
projects.
