Even flash disks allocate space on a sector base, so Bart's point is valid.
Yes, but (1) sector size may be only 128 bytes in a ROM-disk, and (2) it may be compressed through LHA (used for Award BIOS modules) so unused spaces vanish and only used spaces count.
Neither are most compilers in use for FreeDOS (with the exception of watcom).
...and the Borland Museum compilers.
You simply have to buy them - where's the problem ?
The problem is not in this, but in the GPL restrictiveness. That's why some free software authors don't use it (I know one such author who uses the BSD license instead). I can even say that the problem is not in the GPL itself, but in its too strict interpretation. I hope the new GPL version 3 is less prone to misinterpretations, but it seems that we won't see it this year.
