You think its legit? Or a total joke?
Citing difficulties with the Freedows project leader, most (all?) of the Freedows development team has left the Freedows project to begin work on a project called AllOS. AllOS is identical to Freedows except the code will be GPLed, and the management structure has been slightly reworked. Read about the split at http://www.slashdot.org/features/980831/2231220.shtml.
On a side note, an online forum was held on Slashdot by one of the Freedows developers. The original post, along with the comments, is available at http://www.slashdot.org/features/980827/1113230.shtml.
