Please, don't post misinformation! DJGPP compiled programs are YOURS.
The only time that a GNU license is involved is when you link to a GNU
library. The only GNU library in DJGPP is --libgpp.a--, but there is a
free alternative with only the streams in it (libiostr.a).

Basicly before posting questions or answers, read the FAQ. Eli has
done a great job here, so use it.
