Well, I translated his ASM projects page, no credit is given to Dex in any way:
So ...
Assembler, what is it?
I would say that the machine language.
In my opinion, a really cool language, only for more complex examples are a bit complicated and expensive.
ASM Img
Here are my ASM - Sources:
* Cool for Part 4 virtual desktops
-> Windows
VWin0.9 Sources
VWin0.9 Binary
* My little OS;)
(Starts just the PC and waits
touch for Restart)
* Chaos (Reinhartshausen OS written in ASM)
* LukeOS (same as above)
My little OS
Chaos
LukeOS
Google Translate fails epicly

Thanks for the hint on "Translate", I hadn't realized the page was in German (hadn't bothered to visit it before).
I believe here's a misunderstanding happening.
The author of the website (as can be seen on the page About / Ich ("me")), is named Christoph Woergi (which is likely true given the domain name).
He doesn't claim credit for "LukeOS", only for the first of the three "OS" downloads.
http://woergi.is-a-geek.org/src/asm/os/ ... uke_os.asm reads "LukeOS V0.02 (c) Luke Bowes, All rights reserved.
www.lukeos.u13.biz". (The domain being unavailable.)
So I guess you're barking up the wrong tree here - the website author seems to have gotten that "LukeOS" somewhere and put it up as an example of ASM code in action. I guess a friendly e-mail might do the trick, and you'll have "LukeOS" dropped in favor of "DexOS"...

Then I'm pretty sure he also(?) names his OS LukeOS? Or is my memory screwing with me?

Your memory is borked. Buy some new chips and get a friend to install them for you.

I do not think the person that ripped my code and lukem95, are anything to do with each other, just simular user names.
