I am not a freedos user, so my opinion in that area doesn't
count much, but I think having some FM would be cool.
Also, DosNavigator (necromancer etc) license seems rather
permissive to allow it to be included in the package. What
will not be allowed is to include that package in some distro,
like fedora or debian, but the package itself should be fine I
think. Making dosemu-freedos package acceptable for distros
is almost an unrealistic task anyway, so making it slightly worse
by adding a few more packages doesn't sound all that bad.
Of course you can try to find some GPLed FM compiled with
djgpp.

Just for what?
dosemu allows you to access the native tools, so I think
for dosemu-freedos those are of a small value.

I am sure memory requirements for djgpp-compiled progs are
not a problem under dosemu, as you say they use DPMI.
