I assume this message is directed to FreeDos official SourceForge project
managers, but I will put in my two cents what I think about all this as
just an end user.
I don't even know what GPL stands for and I wouldn't care less. All what
I need is the best possible modern version of DOS, which from what I see
by occasionally following some other DOS forums, FreeDos probably is.
A driver getting abandoned is an inconvenience to be expected from any
free software.
Just my few cents, I don't mean to argue with anyone. I'm just an end
user, I love playing with dos in my spare time because it's starts so
fast and it's easy to understand compared with other os-es and because
years back my first pc had dos on it so there is an element of sentiment
to it.
Of course project managers must follow certain rules so may be qxumbpci
can not be included in the official distro but there is nothing wrong
with discussing it on this forum (I hope).
Have a great day, everyone,
Lester
