Note: Public domain means there is no license. Open source usually means there is a license, but it allows modification and redistribution.
This is an example of that. No conflict, and it's also 1998 vs 2001 information: it would have been quite possible for the first one to be out-of-date.

The license covers "CP/M technology", which includes everything related to CP/M in source or binary form, if it came from DRI.
