I did exactly this with JWasm. I also read the Sybase license. I found parts of it unclear, apparently contradictory, may be even nonsense. I'm not a lawyer. But I used my brain and asked myself the following questions: 1. What is Open Watcom, is it a part of Sybase? 2. If OW is NOT a part of Sybase, is it a - juristic - person which probably could have a - disclosed - contract with Sybase concerning the distribution of the old "Watcom" source code? I answered both questions with No. My conclusion therefore is: I can do the same what Open Watcom does, that is, modify the source and distribute it. So IMO your conclusion is wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
