As Rugxulo pointed out, wasm is now (re-)released under the Sybase Open Watcom Public License. As far as I can tell, the new license does not actually prohibit commercial use.

In fact the Open Watcom toolchain is now available in source form, and it now has a nice spiffy GitHub repository: https://github.com/open-watcom/open-watcom-v2.

I think wasm --- and its JWasm fork (https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/JWasm) --- are the most "open" assemblers available at the moment that can really handle masm syntax. As I said above, JWasm is one of the few assemblers that can build Microsoft's recently released GW-BASIC sources. So you probably want to give wasm/JWasm a(nother) try.

Thank you!
