Hello freedos developers & users. As you probably know, once upon a time (like 20 years ago) there were the command.com sources from Centroid Corp under GPL. AFAIK they were removed from the freedos servers because of the licence uncertaincy. I used them in my comcom32 project: https://github.com/stsp/comcom32 and finally decided to see if I can do something about its licensing. So I just mailed to Centroids, and, quite suprisingly, the outcome was very positive: https://github.com/stsp/comcom32/issues/12 Here you can see the reply from Centroid official, confirming the possibility of distributing this command.com source under GPLv3+.
So just wanted to let you know about this. I believe it is now possible for freedos to re-upload it to their servers, where it once initially was. I am planning to port it to 64bit in the future (as I already ported freedos to 64bit), after which it will no longer be usable for classic freedos. But there will be some time frame before I get to that, and during that time I am sure freedos ppl can get some use of it, or even contribute. Good night and RIP to its author Allen S. Cheung. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
