I found ProgeCad, which seems to be a genuine AutoCAD clone. Perpetual license - NOT SUBSCRIPTION.

The story I heard was that AutoDesk sued them and THEY won. It seems that they wrote the underlying engine that AutoCAD uses. 2D only, but that's all I need at home after WIN 10 refused to touch AutoCAD 2000.
