I seem to remember back in the mists of time long lost that DOS 1.1 was actually using very similar commands to unix (notably cd, mkdir, but _not_ more or ls, for some reason best known to a certain W Gates who apparently jointly wrote PC-DOS as it was then called).
Is that copyleft?

I don't remember that farback in versions of DOS. The story that I heard was that he bought the OS off of some other individual or small company. (Dirty DOS or something) Then sold the OS bought for a small fraction, then sold it to IBM. Then IBM cleaned out a slew of bugs.
No matter, he's rich and I'm not. Who really cares about the actual incident.
