I was reading an article on osnews.com recently about CP/M and how the
owners have said it "and all its derivatives" are now free.  The author was
questioning whether that was restricted to just CP/M derivatives, or also
things like DR-DOS, which apparently started out as a CP/M extension.

One thing I did not glean was whether or not their are also open source,
i.e. if they source is out in the wild or if it even still exists for some
of the projects.

Some of the derivatives and extensions could do things that other versions
of DOS that were out at the time could not do natively, like multitasking.
