Maybe you need to clear your cache or something.
I just checked, it is written there in bold.

It is public domain so you can commercialize it
without restriction.

Why did you say 'OS'? Does it not meet your definition
of an OS? If so, what definition are you using?

I haven't decided what I should do for the next 10
years. University Challenge is a definitive point.
I really need to discuss theory now. Yes, I got
something to work, but I said in the documentation
right from the start that I wasn't an OS expert.
Because of that, I just used MSDOS as a guide, but
made everything 32-bit instead.
