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).

If BSD had to split apart their additions with the original unix code, then that means copyright headers should be avoided/obsoleted and only a vcs based historical viewing (who committed what) should be allowed. Since whatever anybody writes contains a copyright itself.
