I note that DOSLFN installs by default in FreeDOS 1.1, so if it is not
kept then the FD 1.2 installer would have to accommodate.
That's a shame about the MPXPLAY unknown license. It's my standard MP3
player.

Hello All,
It took some doing. But, I have gone through all both the packages
proposed for the FreeDOS 1.2 release. So, here are the changes that
have been implemented. Some of these are listed even though it was
decided beforehand that they were going to be pulled. One or two, have
problems and aI am waiting on a decision from Jim to determine their
fate. I have corrected nearly all packages with incorrect license
types and versions. For example:
BASE\APPEND was just /*GNU GPL*/, but is /*GNU General Public License,
Version 2*/
DEVEL\REGINA was listed as /*GPL*/, but is actually /*GNU
Library General Public License, Version 2*/
DEVEL\NASM has moved from */GPL/* to */Simplified (2-Clause) BSD
License/*.
etc…
Anyhow, these are the problem packages and their probable destinies.
