Hello,
I heard rumours that you don't need licence anymore for
Microsoft Windows 3.11 and DOS 6.2 and for Windows 95 too.
It is that true? It is for educational or private purpose
only? Where I can find an official Press Release from
Microsoft? I want to get a list of Microfost products for
which is no need to have a licence if anyone can help. I
did search on www.microsoft.com but with no result.
Many thanks!

Not true. Microsoft has never made its operating systems available for
free.
