Do you really want to start a lengthy discussion about whether I am 
using a legitimately created backup with my original license or not? For 
heaven's sake, I'll ship the original discs along with the license.

"Fully considering" as in "I'll sue you to death like SCO"? Of course, 
it is important not to open the door wide enough for lawyers and the 
like. But this particular case and, especially, your inappropriately 
truncated summary why FreeDOS is illegal make you look like a troll.

It would help tremendously if you could elaborate a bit on your thoughts 
- and not just state that you don't like FreeDOS because it is illegal. 
Apart from that you probably don't even know if anything illegal took 
place at all - you just imagine it *could* be, and thus it has to.

Substantiate your statements better next time and everything will be fine.
