Originally, it was not.  Originally, you only had to pay if you were not a
"single desktop user," or if you wanted a copy on CD instead of downloading
the disk images.  This goes back to when it was called OpenDOS 7.01, and
lasted through when DR-DOS 7.03 was originally released.  I got my copy from
their official site a few years back.  That was back when it was still being
"marketed" by Caldera/Thin Clients/Lineo.
 
There is also a version called DR-DOS-E, for "Enhanced."  It is based off
of the 7.01 source code, which was released some time back.  I forget what
version they are up to now (7.01.??), but it now includes FAT-32 natively...
that is, without a driver.  I believe that project can be found on
Sourceforge.
