As you can see in his existing repositories on GitHub (
https://github.com/sudleyplace ), Bob seems partial to the GPLv3, so I
guess that would be acceptable to FreeDOS, right? 🙂

Anyway, I opened an issue in his DPMIONE project on GitHub, with a request
for a release of the 386MAX source code:

I have no idea. I never used 386MAX back in the day, but if it came with a
MEMMAKER-like utility, perhaps that will be included in the source code,
should he decide to release it.

Perhaps you can ask him in that GitHub thread.
