Something immediately come to my mind - to destroy the FREE or OPEN
SOURCE project is very easy.
Somebody appear suddenly, say something to insult/mock/disturb/tease
the developers, challenge their self-respection, trouble them and make
them angry, and they'll leave the project automatically. Somebody
behind the scene need not to spending a single penny for the lawyer.
We're all open-minded here. Sticks and stones may break our bones but a
little name-calling never hurt anyone.
This kind of things happened quite a few times in Emulation camp. Lots
of wonderful, awesome emulator projects terminated because of this. It
seems finally the nightmare arrived.
Sad to see that, Tom! But you're right - there is no logic in lawyer's thinking. However, what if we compose a special FreeDOS License,
I like Lucho's suggestion. The only problem is someone have to work
out the new license, it's not an easy task.

Honestly, I'm tired of this complexity. All I can remember is the
simple "public domain" in good old days.
