No!  But sometimes it's illegal to copy for use on more than one computer at a
time.  If he is only using one copy at a time, then his use is 100% legitimate.
Unless he is not the only one using his computer, he would have to make a REAL
effort to USE two copies of DOS at the SAME TIME (One for each hand?).
Besides, nobody will care, if it's for personal use.  And you should ALWAYS
make a backup, ESPECIALLY OF DOS!!!!

No; I didn't say you can sell your backups of DOS to others :-)
