There are people who refuse to use FreeDOS (kernel), which is licensed as open source under the GNU GPL, as they only want to use "free software" as defined by GNU. There's no compatible compiler that's either GPL or free software. OpenWatcom comes closest. No idea what the requirements for creating/modifying Blocek are. Anyway, let's not turn this into a long license discussion. Despite people having the opinion that the FreeDOS kernel isn't free software, it's still opensource. Additionally, free software for DOS does actually exist. Most likely (32bit?) DJGPP programs licensed as GPL, I guess. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
