Thanks for the suggestion. I've had conversations with the FSF about getting FreeDOS listed on their Free Non-GNU Distributions page. It's not going to happen.
The last time I discussed this with the FSF, the FSF Licensing rep responded to say (paraphrasing) "But FreeDOS exists to prop up proprietary DOS applications." I replied that there's no point in being a "Free DOS" if FreeDOS can't run DOS programs. But the FSF's view seems to be that if FreeDOS aims to run proprietary DOS programs, then FreeDOS is basically supporting/endorsing proprietary software. They stopped responding to emails after that. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that's happened, so I've given up trying to get FreeDOS listed on the FSF's page.
