dosemu is in contrib because it depends on an implementation of DOS, to

non-free tools to build, and so is itself in contrib.

If you can collect enough data to make a doom wad file that is playable
and is entirely free, then we will include it in the distribution, and
doom will move out of contrib. Nobody has done so yet; individual levels
tend to depend on the non-free wad files.
