I contacted Salvo a year or so ago and he said there's still work on a new version which will replace the current one. Here's what he wrote me: Salvo Isaja, 2008-05-27: > Now proceeding with very slow pace and restarting since the very > beginning, mainly due to licensing issues (i.e. the GPL is > unadeguate). [note that the GPL is the license of OSLib, not LGPL] Reading some old mailing list archives I found, I think it's something about the licensing of OSLib. As previously discussed in the BTTR Software forum, DOS-C (The FreeDOS Kernel) possibly violates the GPL by allowing to load non-GPL DOS device drivers. Now in FreeDOS-32's architecture the native drivers and applications are linked into the kernel or something, so the OSLib guy said they all have to be licensed under the GPL too when using OSLib.
