Volkov commander is open sourced (Announce)

Only rarely I watch the mailing list of FreeDOS because only rarely is there something interresting. But now yes. There is a mention that Volkov commander is open sourced.

==================================
On the FreeDOS Facebook group, someone pointed out that Vsevolod
Volkov has released the Volkov Commander source code under an open
source license. You can download it from Vsevolod's website:
https://vc.vvv.kyiv.ua/…ad/

The source code is here:
https://vc.vvv.kyiv.ua/…rc/

This includes the source code to Volkov Commander 4.05 and Volkov
Commander 4.99.09 alpha.

The license (copied below, from 4.99.09 alpha) is the 2-clause BSD license.
