I think that the key is to perceive FreeDOS as a replacement to MSDOS, nothing else (that is, "BASE"). The legalese on these things can be a bit confusing, so I believe that the extreme caution that FreeDOS applies in this area is legitimate. But then, for actually useful (practical) stuff, one has to rely on a FreeDOS distribution, like Svarog386, or collect the required "non-free" bits by hand over the internet. Otherwise I agree it can get a bit frustrating for actual users, and that's the reason I started Svarog386 in the first place.
