FYI: the license Microsoft has used for the official MS-DOS source code
releases is the MIT License. The FSF people call this the Expat license.

The FSF people also say the Expat/MIT license is compatible with the GNU
GPL. You can copy code from an Expat licensed project and paste it into a
GNU GPL'd project.
