I forgot to mention. Don't quote me, I'm not any authority on the matter, but I think the original intention was to keep 4DOS strictly to DOS (and not Windows, e.g. NT, where 4NT was/is still commercially sold). I even vaguely remember hearing that "4DOS might be open sourced once it diverges enough from 4OS2" or such. So I think the intent was to not directly compete against existing products, not so much the intent to arbitrarily prevent use on various DOS flavors. But you'll have to ask the copyright holder for further clarity.
