You shouldn't assume that.
symal predates Moses, I'm not sure who wrote it. It may be that the
author allowed it to be dual licensed.
The license for Moses is clear and has not changed since it started -
LGPL 2.1. The license for mgiza and GIZA++ is also looks clear - GPL 2

So, you can sublicense Moses (LGPL) but not mgiza (GPL):

Which I guess may mean something like that you can re-license a
modified version of Moses without symal but not with symal. In other
words, to license a modified version of Moses with your own terms,
you need to take out symal from mgiza or any GPL or code having some
more restrictive license and keep symal that comes with Moses.

Don't have experience with EMS, but our Slate packages (Linux &
Windows)
include both MGIZA and Moses binaries the same `$bin` folder and
we set
the train-model.perl --external-bin-dir=$bin value and all other
binary
path references to that one folder. The symal binary is the only
conflict file name. So, we use the one from Moses. From what we could
tell, they are essentially the same source but the Moses copy seems to
have been maintained/updated more recently. Also be careful
because the
two versions are published under different open source licenses.
I don't know if this approach will work with EMS, but it is a simple
solution.
