SvarDOS: DR-DOS reborn as an open source OS
Briefly

The SvarDOS project has transitioned from being a FreeDOS distribution to a more independent system, now using the EDRDOS kernel, enhancing its capabilities.
The 2024 updates to SvarDOS signify a significant shift, influenced by changes in licensing related to CP/M and its derivatives, facilitating greater developer freedom.
Historically, SvarDOS operated under FreeDOS constraints, tailored for low-end hardware, but with the switch to EDRDOS, it opens the door for enhanced features.
The adoption of the EDRDOS kernel as the default is a deliberate move by SvarDOS developers, aligning with the ongoing trend of retro computing and open-source proliferation.
