FreeDOS aims to be a complete, free, 100% MS-DOS compatible operating
system. We have documented this in the FreeDOS Manifesto. At
this time, it is not planned to add enhancements or advanced features to FreeDOS
such as multitasking, protected mode operation, or a GUI. The reason for this
is that we first seek to duplicate the original functionality of DOS, because
such an operating system is still useful. You may also use FreeDOS to boot into
Linux DOSEmu.
FreeDOS is ideal for anyone who wants to bundle a version of DOS without having
to pay a royalty for use of DOS. FreeDOS will also work on old hardware, in
DOS emulators, and in embedded systems. FreeDOS is also an invaluable resource
for people who would like to develop their own operating system. While there
are many free operating systems
out there, no other free DOS-compatible operating system exists.
FreeDOS is free because it is released under the GNU General Public License.
The GNU license, created by the Free Software Foundation, is the same one used
by GNU Emacs and Linux. FreeDOS is distributed in the hopes it will be useful.
Want to help us? First, consider joining the FreeDOS Mailing List, or browse
some recent articles from the mailing list archive. If you are a programmer,
please check the FreeDOS Maintainers List and see what needs to still be done.
