FreeDos is better anyways

I wonder if this is of any use to them or if they're already too far ahead.

To my knowledge, FreeDOS has been a fairly complete implementation of DOS for a very long time, so this is probably not useful to them.

Good question lmk if you find the answer. I just use FreeDos to play Chex quest

They couldn't use it. MS DOS is released under a licence that restricts redistribution

They changed it to MIT. You can basically do what you want with it.

Neat!
