My brother was reading up on USB hard drives, when he found this reference to FreeDOS being included with a Seagate USB drive:


I was reading this review of the Seagate 5GB USB hard drive, and I saw this note: "Much of the documentations reside on the CD, from which you'll also find a copy of FreeDOS"

Interesting.

Due to the nature of the FreeDOS license an OEM can decide to use FreeDOS in their product line without contacting anyone or making arrangements with the people involved in the project.

Then one day you discover it is being used by someone like Seagate.

Perhaps in the same licensing pages there could be added a note saying that, although not neccessary, we would be grateful for letting us know (and of course even better for mentioning the project's page).


Just an idea.
Happy new year,
Aitor
