If the clickwrap license doesn't go away, dosemu should move to non-free.
Ridiculous laws in a handful of the United States notwithstanding, it's
usually not possible for one to make a contract between themselves and a bit
of software by clicking or typing their assent. Prepetuating this braindead
practice of restriction and intimidation by befuddlement in proprietary
software is bad enough; it has no place in Free Software.
