      <p class="title">Svarog386 package inclusion rules</p>
      <p class="copyr"></p>
      <p>Svarog386 is a FreeDOS&trade; distribution that comes with plenty of third-party packages. With time, packages gets updated and new packages are being added. However, Svarog386 is not a shareware distribution CD, nor it is a "warez" production of any kind! Every software that is distributed within Svarog386 must comply to a few common sense rules, as listed below.</p>

      <p class="chapt">Objective usefulness</p>
      <p>The distributed software must be useful. There is no point in distributing hundreds of "Hello World" programs for example. The software must be useable as a finished product and provide some features that are proven to be seeked by at least a subset of the user base. Games are considered useful, as long as they fulfill their goal of providing actual distraction.</p>

      <p class="chapt">Reasonable quality</p>
      <p>The packaged program must exhibit traits of reasonable quality. This means that it should have a deterministic behavior, and be free of undesirable side-effects to the user\'s computer (not crashing, freezing, resulting in unexpected loss of data, etc). It should also provide clear, non-ambiguous instructions to the user about how the program is meant to be used.</p>

      <p class="chapt">Free (no cost)</p>
      <p>The program must be free - that is, available at no financial cost. It doesn\'t have to comply to an OSI-approved license or be open-source (even if that would be prefered), but at the very least it must be free for personal, non-commercial use.</p>

      <p class="chapt">Distribution allowed</p>
      <p>The program must allow distribution without restrictions, and must not forbid being redistributed in a re-packaged form.</p>

      <p>Svarog386 is a DOS distribution based on FreeDOS. It\'s released in the form of a single bootable CD image (ISO) that contains the FreeDOS kernel, a command interpreter and a variety of third-party packages.<br>
      Svarog386 is a "rolling release", meaning that it doesn\'t follow the concept of "versions". Svarog386 can be kept up-to-date either via online update repositories or by using the latest ISO image as your local package repository.</p>

      <p>Svarog386 is <b>not</b> designed for strict 8086 compatibility. Many parts of it might require a 386-class CPU. If you look for a simple 8086 FreeDOS distribution, take a look at <a href="http://svarog86.sourceforge.net">Svarog86</a>.</p>
