Actually, I think the name of the company was Seattle Computer Products.
Tim Patterson was a MS employee for many years but I don't think he is still
there.  In exchange for SCP-DOS Seattle Computer Products received a license
to re-distribute DOS.  I don't know if they are still in business but they
made lots of money on that license for many years.
