I've thought about it, but things like that get rapidly outdated.
Besides, Tomasz has considered preventing edits after a certain amount
of time (to prevent reverse spamming ... or whatever you call it).

Almost everything has sources (if link is in bold). Other than that, I
didn't look too closely.

VIM is GPL friendly, officially "free software" (ever since a few
years ago). The real shame is that 7.2 dropped support for the 16-bit
compile.

I can't remember if Raved moved to a new site and/or just moved yet
removed (!) any links to the editor (but I still have a local copy).
Elvis is a 16-bit compile (conventional memory only) but runs out VERY
quickly due to the .EXE itself taking about 400k. Freemacs has moved
several times, but that and FD edit are available through links on
FreeDOS' Software list (64k limit, ftw!!):

I've never tried SMEDIT.
