Things that we can't include are probably easy enough to remove. The real problem is going to be building FreeDOS from source. As far as I know, we don't have a FOSS compiler that can produce 16-bit binaries. There is OpenWatcom, but its license is listed as one of the bad ones. Anyone know anybody at Sybase/SAP would could fix this? SAP appears to be the current copyright holder for the code, as they acquired Sybase in 2012. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
