Rudolph Loew passed away, but unfortunately, he has not been
able to update all documentation after his death, so the way
in which AHCICD and his other software became open source was
not accepted by this distro and you have to download things
separately by hand.
However, the license.txt and readme etc. still are originals,
so they still say the software is copyrighted. Only the main
start page tells otherwise:
Quoting the website:
Rudolph Loew (Rudy) passed away on September 11th, 2019.
This site is maintained by his family to archive his work and make it
available to anyone who is interested in pursuing further endeavors.
Please do not try to make any purchases, all of Rudy's projects will
be made available (including source code) as time permits.
In order to freely distribute it and include it in FreeDOS repositories,
wouldn't it be a good idea to contact his estate to dissipate all doubts
about the current license? (maybe advice them to use a GNU GPL license too).
Including his software in FreeDOS would keep his legacy alive for many
years and based on forum posts by his family members and the current
message header on his memorial website, it seems they would be happy
with it.
