Re: [Freedos-user] Catch-all Repository for legacy DOS software

[Eric A. <e....@jp...>]

Hi Alex,

an obvious question: What is wrong about the already
existing pages which collect legacy DOS software? It
may the that they are not MANAGED by FreeDOS people,
but it is not like the typical FreeDOS user would be
bored :-) And you could of course donate your private
collections - depending on license - to the existing
legacy DOS software websites... One of the sites that
are quite decent and careful about licenses, a game
related site, is www.classicdosgames.com/all.html :-)

Recommending the best could be done without mention
of places for downloads, so some sort of review-of-
DOS-classics could probably be done by FreeDOSers.

The FreeDOS Software List is indeed just listing the
free and very preferrably also open source software
which is part of the FreeDOS ISO image. Adding lots
of other things could even make the ISO too big for
a BluRay disk because so much legacy stuff is out in
the internet - often also with vague licenses and no
support by any of the authors etc.
