This AFAIK boils down to the fact that FreeDOS cannot
be compiled inside the fedora environment.
By the way, are there any updates on this?
There are now the shiny new things like llvm/clang,
and maybe they can handle the realmode code?
Does anyone know?

Please read Bart's e-mail more carefully then. :)
He pointed to the notable example,

Which also means (in my eyes at least) the unbiased manner
of the discussion.

I don't think anything can be dragged down this time.
Things have changed. Firstly, the discussion now happens
in a public ML, instead of an IRC as it was 10 years ago.
Secondly, there is now the Git, which allows us to _look_
into the proposed things, changing them quickly etc, while
in the past we had to argue without much of a demonstration
of our ideas, and the misunderstandings ensued.
And thirdly, there is no more permanent disagreement
between me and Bart on the code simplicity vs compatibility. :)
Simplicity won, compatibility (with ancient linux environments) died.
My goal is to simply resolve the misunderstandings that
are all there in the COPYING.DOSEMU. This is a very bad
place for misunderstandings IMHO. :) Considering the dire
consequences of these misunderstandings, like the "GPLv2
only" instead of "GPLv2 or later", it IMHO really needs to be
resolved once and for all.
Aside from resolving the misunderstanding, of couse an
extra steps can be done, like asking people about relicensing
etc, but for now just removing the misunderstandings would
be already a big achievement.
