Just a quick look (at your list only, not the actual .ZIP) with a few
quick comments:

* CuteMouse needs fixing to avoid closed-source COM2EXE (already done
locally, but no response from maintainer)
* Jemm386 needs to remove JLOAD and similar closed-source pieces (no maintainer)
* UIDE and XMGR from 2011? eh?? if we're going to include this at all,
at least use 03-05-2015 (no maintainer)
* remove Pacific C, it's closed source (I had thought Jim already
agreed to that) (no maintainer)
* Mined has a newer version (2015.25)
* FDShell? it's not in the Software List at all, but meh whatever
* Lynx 2.8.8?? [sic] if you're really including that, make sure to
include (mandatory) dependencies mentioned in Juan Manuel Guerrero's
comp.os.msdos.djgpp announcement (e.g. two DXEs, maybe other stuff)
* CompInfo? seriously, why do we still include that at all? does it even work??
* Ranish? I forget the details, is this open source?? or was that just
the older version??
* remove TTF2FNT, it's a Win32 GUI app!!

Honestly, most stuff has no maintainer anymore, so I'm not sure why I
mention that. So we have to do everything ourselves, which (as I
already mentioned) means either partially deleting problematic pieces
or dropping them entirely.

There are other minor quibbles, but that's probably worrying
excessively for little gain.
