Hi,
   I wish there was a good answer, but I don't know of one.

FreeDOS has (AFAIK) only two "mirror" places, i.e. SourceForge
(OSI-approved stuff only??) and iBiblio ("mostly" public domain??
though Jim is very heavily GPL-oriented).

Does Garbo still accept contributions?? Even Simtel only accepts
things from the original copyright holder, sadly. Berlios is (IIRC)
similarly OSI-only.

In other words, it's frustrating. I don't know what to tell you. My
own wimpy Google Sites page has stuff that I should probably move to
SourceForge, but other stuff is non-commercial only (e.g. D3X) and
abandoned, so I dunno what to do with such things.

It's a shame to let good software disappear because of copyright law,
esp. when the original copyright holders have no interest in hosting
it themselves. But it's very common (esp. for "legacy").
