FreeDOS is a GPL-licensed re-implementation of the DOS operating system intended for old computers and x86 emulators which don't provide their own internal DOS.

Conclusion
- Use utilities like MORE.EXE from FreeDOS as replacements for MS-DOS utilities like MORE.COM.
- Install FreeDOS to C:\DOS to provide a more complete DOS experience.
