CP/Mish: open-source sort-of-CP/M distribution

CP/M is Digital Research’s seminal desktop operating system from 1977 that for a decade dominated the personal computer market. It’s even useful today: both to study (as aa superb example of sheer minimalism) but also to use; the Z80 is a common target for homebrew computers, and CP/M is the obvious operating system to run on one. Watch this:

However, while you can get the source and binaries today, the license it’s released with is encumbered and it can’t be distributed outside (the amazing) Unofficial CP/M Web Site; so it’s useful as a reference, but you can’t distribute CP/M images with, e.g., emulators.
