I'm sharing this as an FYI.

We used to mirror a copy of Rugxulo's MetaDOS (from 2019) at the
FreeDOS Files Archive on Ibiblio. However, when it became too outdated
(and to remove confusion with the FreeDOS distribution) we eventually
marked the directory as "private" which effectively made it
inaccessible except by request. The "Unofficial" directory on Ibiblio
only has the metados.txt file from 2019 in it:
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/unofficial/

Through a bit of Googling, I think the last time anyone linked to it
in a public forum was Rugxulo in this 2021 post on DAD:
https://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=17978&page=0&category=9&order=time

I believe we marked the directory as "private" shortly after that, anyway.

Since this is very old and March 2024 will be the "3 yrs" requirement
of the GNU GPL 3(b) if you count from 2021 [although since MetaDOS
included the source code, it already satisfied GNU GPL 3(a) anyway] I
plan to remove the "Unofficial" directory tree on Ibiblio at the
beginning of next month.
