It thought that Digital Research withdrew all of its support for
CP/M years ago.  I would think that they would have relinquished
their rights because they don't support it.  If they still
distribute it, but don't support it, then something is SERIOUSLY
(IMHO) with DRI's policies, mainly because most of its work is
devoted to DR-DOS and GEM-86 and GEM-68k.  Anyone care to rebut?

Thanks in advance.
