Yes, that list raises a number of issues. To summarize what you quoted: - freeware for non-commercial use (free for home users) - commercial or military users need a license (can try it for up to 30 days) - charities and non-commercial users need an agreement - you cannot use for computer manufacture or "recovery" work - you cannot distribute, except as the original file - you cannot charge to distribute - you cannot include on a download site without permission So yes, that definitely doesn't allow FreeDOS to share a copy of Diskman. > As you have already mailed the author, we should just wait whether he > can offer the source code AND a more free license.
