Shame on you. > +1 Those GNU fanatics don't want for people to have a choice, in particular the choice to decide what one is doing with the software (s)he has written. The latest version of mTCP is just fine and serves its purpose. As for the newer version, well, if you hadn't mentioned it, nobody would know that it exists. And would be now just as well off.
DOS is from a time when before mentioned started to spread. With "free" software for it in all kinds of forms and licenses. IMHO, with the exception of "abandon ware" (which does not exist in any legal form), everything that is free to use is fair game. If it isn't free to redistribute, well, then that is fine too. Just let those people that have an interest in using it decide if they download it or not. Provide the link to where it is available and be done with it (as far as FreeDOS) is concerned. Not each and every byte of software that runs on FreeDOS has to be "included". And no need for this kind of "free software shaming"...
