I tried to reach his family, by email (several times) and by letter, but got no response. I encouraged them to use a recognized open source license such as the MIT license or the GNU General Public License, including instructions for how to apply the license to the code. I also offered to help more directly, and to get back to me if they wanted help. But I never heard back from them. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
