Re copyright contamination: that's pretty doubtful, actually. While it's not a clean room reimplementation it does work quite differently, with a whole set of different bugs, syntactic wibbles and semantic quirks, as well as being in a completely different language. I am actually _right now_ working on the .prn file output, and duplicating the behaviour of the original is essentially impossible as it's very much dependent on how the original parsed the input and mine parses differently. (Try assembling 'foo equ 1 ! mov a, foo' and try and predict what the DR assembler's prn file output is! You'll be surprised.) Also, the IP's not owned by Caldera any more. It got spun off into Lineo, which then folded. Some assets went to Embedix which then got folded into Metrowerks, and the rest reverted to the investor, Canopy Group (he says reading Wikipedia), but I don't know which. It's probably worth approaching them to try and get the license fixed --- the existing one is painfully vague and the CP/M community bickers endlessly about what it actually means, and the encumbrance requiring everything to be distributed through one site is just stupid. Whether they still contain anyone who's heard of CP/M, I don't know.
