But, it completely failed LSM verification. It is listed as being GPL. It’s license is clearly not. I’m not looking at it right now. But, if I recall correctly, i think it was either BSD or BSD-like. There were basic directives played out regarding what packages get included in FD1.2. I temporarily bent these restrictions for a couple highly demanded packages like 4DOS. But, for most, I did not. That being said, CURL should be fixable if the license info is corrected and sources are included. > PING and WHICH are a common part of open-source (quasi-)Unix systems. I didn’t do any temporary rule bending on these. They are probably fixable. However, I think there is a PING included in MTCP as well. > > Available source code does not necessarily mean buildable in FreeDOS; porting > to DOS typically requires much wrestling and is not always workable. > Remember DOSzilla? > > I couldn't find NEWSNUZ.

Employees who bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched! https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/304595813;131938128;j _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
