I certainly have no problem with you including FreeDOS. Note that much of the FreeDOS programs are distributed under the GNU GPL or a similarly free license. You should find a way to make FreeDOS source code available to the end-user of this RPM. Maybe a version of FreeDOS based on fdbasecd.iso (binary-only) and another version based on fdfullcd.iso (includes source.) That way, the end-user would have the option to get a version of FreeDOS that includes the source code. Or, I see there is discussion in your bugzilla about including the FreeDOS source in the SRPM, which also makes sense to me. I would be ok with either option, I think - so long as source somehow is made available to users, under the GNU GPL.
