DosBox does not depend from any non-free software. It perfectly runs
with free software from main and you can dir, ls or whatever on your
local disk (perhaps DOS partition) and what else. You might have written
your own software in DOS and would like to run it. There might be some
other free DOS software, so DosBox _really_ _does_ _not_ _depend_ from
non-free software. Tha fact that most people might use it to start
their non-free software is in fact no reason to move it to contrib.
I see no reason to move DosBox to contrib an keep Wine in main (which
is perfectly the right location in my opinion).
I just attached the REJECT file which confused the DosBox maintainer
which will be sponsored by me.
Kind regards
Andreas.

Hi,
Since this is, AFAICS, useless to the average user without non-free
software it belongs in contrib (along with dosemu et. al.).
Or am I missing something?
