How are the repositories on ibiblio paid for? Freedos is free, and much of the programming work is done on a voluntary basis. Freedos is predominantly open source if not completely so. ReactOS is supported by a company that pays for the infrastructure to host the source code, a web site, some of the programming, etcetera. ReactOS is free to download and under the GPL 100% I believe. Could something similar be done for freedos? Could a person be trained and paid a modest salary to work on memory management for example, in the US $15/hour is modest for programming. I am willing to work on freedos for a low salary and have my code released under the GPL. If I were wealthy, I'd do the work for free.
Freedos for a hobbyist project is in incredibly good shape. I would like to see this become an excellent dos, better than MSDOS, and sought after by industry for systems that currently require msdos. Everyone who has worked to make freedos what it is, pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. I want freedos to go further in terms of quality and become the most stable dos on the planet that is the most compatible dos with everything dos that is worth being compatible with. -- Michael C.
