XMSDSK is 100% functional and free _can_ be used
I do not think so. While XMSDSK generally works nice, it has - as any
other ramdisk that I have tested so far - the strange
problem that LCD (interactive change dir) immediately exits to the prompt
when touching it, and even worse, that DPMI16BI compiled programs like the
Jazz Jackrabbit game crash if any ramdisk is present at all (do not even
have to have a reason to touch any file on that ramdisk). Maybe you could
try several ramdisks, several XMS drivers and several kernel versions and
try to find out if any combination works okay for you.
So, as NO RAM DISK satisfies an utility and a game, NO RAM DISK may be included in FreeDOS! But this is NOT XMSDSK's fault! It works and is free (albeit not open source) so I agree with Alain - if we include UMBPCI, we should include XMSDSK too.
