It's such a pity that the 32bit version is open source and the 64-bit version proprietary.

The open source alternative is KolibriOS.

My understanding is that Kolibri is a hostile fork of Menuet, and that Menuet's author closed it in retaliation.

You are correct.

(MenuetOS is Ville's project)

The code was GPL, but kolibri did replace copyright headers and that was Ville's main gripe. Whether or not that breaks the GPL, I cannot say (they kept his name in the license file).

Ville, in response to who forked it: "Coders from Ukraine's eastern neighbor. And closed source seems to be a quite good way of getting rid of their forum spamming (to use a polite expression)."
