Hi Lester, only if software is not only free but also open source, it is possible that other people take care of projects again which were abandoned for a while. Actually this happened for several FreeDOS tools before... So we try to put only open source software in our distro, but from time to time, we also accept free closed source when there are no open alternatives. In case of qxumbpci, there is an alternative: umbpci. Actually qxumbpci is only a small modification of umbpci, and I do not understand why qxhimem "thinks it needs qxumbpci" at all. The feature of qxhimem of being loadable into umbpci UMBs should be possible with any normal version of umbpci, too :-).
