LFNDOS is older then FreeDOS, and comes with a license 'open source. I don't care what you do wit it' CRYNWR drivers are older then linux. same licensing. UDMA is one of the drivers that actually made a huge difference on older motherboards. to stop delivering these packages suddenly after more then 10 years is more about this open source religion (Stallmanitis) then anything about legalese.
