[OWBugzilla] [Bug 1151] New: Enhancement: Allow OpenWatcom and Tools to Use a GPL-compatible software license

http://bugzilla.openwatcom.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1151

Summary: Enhancement: Allow OpenWatcom and Tools to Use a GPL-
compatible software license
Product: Open Watcom Tools
Version: OW 1.9
Platform: All (Generic)
URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybase_Open_Watcom_Public_
License
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: --
Component: CauseWay
AssignedTo: openwatco...@openwatcom.org
ReportedBy: gamin...@yahoo.com


To Whom It May Concern:
Due to a large number of conflicts which can be seen at the provided url, it is
not possible to use OpenWatcom on a GNU/Linux system due to non-free licensing.
The resolve for this is easily fixable. You may choose to use any
GPL-compatible software licenses and/or the GPL itself. For information on
which licenses are accepted you can see here:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

This will not only help increase compatibility, but grant users more freedom to
utilize your opensource work and contribute back to the community as a whole.

Please have whoever still owns the legal rights over the licensing agreement to
have a look at this bug report.

Thank you for your time.
