The reason for a new file system is to support larger disks and long filenames. To avoid legal problems, why not just use ext3 as Linux does? Very few DOS applications (apart from some DOS utilities) will care how the data is stored on disk. And maybe there is already an old ext driver for DOS which could be extended. So FreeDOS would support FAT32 plus ext3 or ext4.
