Unfortunately, nowhere I see any explicit conditions under which it's to be available. There are, RTFL: The game *STAR TETRIS II* is copyright (C) by Narech Koumar, Supernar Systems, Ltd. This game is a freeware and may be copied, given away, uploaded to internet and/or local network servers provided that no charge is taken for the above said actions or for letting people playing the game. And note that being freeware doesn't imply being free software. Note that the word free had existed before FSF was brewn ;-) Am I free to sell it? NO, RTFL. am I free to change it? or to borrow the code for a free software project? or for a proprietary one? I don't know, just contact N.K. -- ~~~ wow ~~~ -- Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

ACK, thanks! So, it's not free software. And note that being freeware doesn't imply being free software. Note that the word free had existed before FSF was brewn ;-) Luckily, the “Software Freedom Day” name has a bit more explicit connection to “freedom”. Would it be “Software Giving-for-Free Day”, I would consider this game, but it definitely isn't.

See here: http://www.freedos.org/freedos/images/logos/ For printed stuff, you will probably be best advised to use the vectorized version (SVG). BTW, are there other Live Floppy FreeDOS variants, beside of Balder? What about Live CD / Live DVD? There's no real need for various distributions of FreeDOS... A bootable FreeDOS floppy is trivial to make, therefore everyone can prepare its own floppy, for its particular needs. PS. Are there any tiny free software games for FreeDOS?
