I fully agree with you that it is useless to discuss the matter any further
with the FSF. I just checked the FSF website and found their list of

that the FSF went hand in hand with Linux, but mostly it doesn't. Most

Please forgive this post for straying from the topic of Freedos, itself. It
relates to the subject of DOS emulation, as aspects of that subject are
frequently addressed here.
One such emulator is DOSBOX. I was pleased enough to come across it quite
a few years ago, even though I have very little
Freedos is open source. Everyone has the privilege of creating as many

I am extremely saddened to see another major corporation, Red Had, become a

to cancel Stallman. Who will be bullied next? And who is really more

I have, and still use, PC-Outline on a FreeDos partition. I think I first
installed it on a computer in the mid 1980's. I consider it, even now,
one of the most elegant pieces of software I've ever used. Can anyone tell
me who created this program, and if that person is still around?
