This is no joke. Back in the day, lots of people ran pirated copies of MS-DOS on PC clones from manufacturers who hadn't licensed it. The pirated copies helped make the OS wildly popular, but the developers never benefited from the exposure of their software running on alternative hardware whatsoever. Who knows whatever happened to that little rinky-dink company after that, but MS-DOS is long dead now.
