FreeDos is better anyways

I wonder if this is of any use to them or if they're already too far ahead.
-
To my knowledge, FreeDOS has been a fairly complete implementation of DOS for a very long time, so this is probably not useful to them.

Good question lmk if you find the answer. I just use FreeDos to play Chex quest

They couldn't use it. MS DOS is released under a licence that restricts redistribution
-
It says here you can modify and distribute: https://github.com/Microsoft/MS-DOS/blob/main/LICENSE
-
They changed it to MIT. You can basically do what you want with it.
-
Neat!
