They withdrew it along with 8.1 which was proved to be phony by Udo and myself (it included an old version of the Udo's work, some PKWARE tools and some FreeDOS utilities without source code or even credit to anyone). Jim Hall asked them to comply with the GPL and they didn't. But after this story started to "stink" too much, they decided to remove version 8.1 instead. The question is why they removed version 8.0 too? It was 100% theirs and included much improved versions of some utlities. It may be becase its FAT32 support didn't work "as advertised". I don't know...

Anyway, this example shows how the GPL really works, unlike their strange licence.
