Brian,
I'm not 100% sure, but I think IBM took like 19 or 20% stock interest in Lenovo in lieu of all cash...so that would mean IBM still does have some interest in PC DOS, as well as ThinkPad, ThinkCentre, which usually come preloaded with MS Windows.

Reply to UDO: "Lenovo would not put a product they just bought into the
Public Domain"
Lenovo bought IBM's small computer division lock, stock and barrel,
probably with IBM insisting Lenovo take all or nothing.  Lenovo has done
nothing with PCDOS7-2000 since.  Lenovo could get both a healthy tax
deduction and good publicity by putting PCDOS into the public domain.
