If the clickwrap license doesn't go away, dosemu should move to non-free. Ridiculous laws in a handful of the United States notwithstanding, it's usually not possible for one to make a contract between themselves and a bit of software by clicking or typing their assent. Prepetuating this braindead practice of restriction and intimidation by befuddlement in proprietary software is bad enough; it has no place in Free Software.
