It looks like the 64 bit version of MenuetOS is free for educational use, but costs money to use commercially while KolibriOS is GPL.

- snvzz 7y ago>educational use Not much educational use to get from a system that is closed source and has a clause forbidding disassembly in the license.
- 7thaccount 7y ago*Disclaimer - I have never used MenuetOS Regardless of being closed source, I'm going to guess that it would still be highly educational to learn Assembly programming on a system that makes it a first class citizen where you just boot into the OS that already is entirely built around ASM. For really simple stuff, a simple microcontroller might be better, but I'm sure some folks are more interested in building desktop apps.
- BubRoss 7y agoYou can do this using QEMU while using BIOS functions
- DeathArrow 7y agoThat implies that the only educational use you can get from a software is trough reading its code. Educational use most often means you learn how to use a software, not how it's made. Autodesk gives free educational licenses for its software and I saw no one saying it's of no use.
