  There are some restrictions in the PMODE/DJ license that are 
incompatible with the free software definition of Free Software 
Foundation:
- One can't sell an extender that is based on PMODE.
- One is encouraged to email the authors if PMODE/DJ is used in for profit 
productions.

  I think it is possible to use the TSR version with software that is 
released under the GNU GPL, but the stubonly version can't be embedded 
into the executable because the license is incompatible with the GPL. Is 
this intentional?
