    The MS-DOS v1.25 and v2.0 files were originally shared at the Computer History Museum on March 25th, 2014 and are being (re)published in this repo to make them easier to find[.]

      In 2014, MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0 were released under a Microsoft shared-source license (Microsoft Research License) which forbids redistribution

      In 2018, both versions were published to GitHub and relicensed as MIT, making them properly open-source

      Today, MS-DOS 4.00 was added to that repo, also under MIT.
