Hello John and All, > 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.
At present, DOSLFN is not installed with BASE. However, It is installed under ALL. I was unable to determine it’s license. It may be BSD, GPL, LGPL or even Public Domain. It is up to Jim to determine if it will just “ship” as-is or needs to be pulled. If it gets Dropped, no accommodations are planned for Windows Long File Name support. Sorry, not up to me. > That's a shame about the MPXPLAY unknown license. It's my standard MP3 > player. Unfortunately, for the most part, I had to go through all of the packages myself and could only devote so much time to packages that had poorly documented license information. While hunting down licenses, some packages like TESTDISK will even receive an upgrade. Others exceeded their allowed time and not being part of BASE or ALL, were defaulted to “Dropped." However, I don’t think any of the “Dropped” packages ever “shipped” with a FreeDOS release. That being said, you could always install them later or add them to your own customized USB stick ( see https://github.com/shidel/FDI/wiki ). If you wish, you (or anyone else) might even find some spare time track down missing sources and license information to any of the “Dropped” packages. The “Removed” packages have been pulled for other reasons and probably not be included this or future releases of FreeDOS.
