Since the full source code (HXSRC.TXT) is not restricted for commercial use... In my opinion it would be logical to have the same licence also for HXDEV.TXT (all).

Removing this restriction from that single package would be pretty cool because HX would qualify as 100 % Free Software, being a nice flagship for the DOS / Free Software community.
