The license for DR-DOS 7.03 says it's free for non-commercial use for
a "reasonable" amount of time. "Reasonable" is undefined and in
practice means you can use it until they object to your use as
being unreasonable. It doesn't expire and you don't have to reinstall.
You can just keep using it. It remains cop
yrighted and the owners
reserve the right to set limits on its use in the future. There is
no set "trial period" or "evaluation period" and they are not asking
non-commercial users to pay them anything.
