it is, so this post is being split]

> Why not just use OpenWatcom instead?

OpenWatcom comes with a huge license that may or
may not allow commercial use, depending on who
hires the most lawyers and the whim of some
judge and/or jury who probably spend most of
the trial playing "snake" on their mobile phones.

Microsoft's products are well-known to be designed
for commercial use, and the license, although I
probably won't understand it, probably doesn't
make veiled attempts at extorting source code.

I am in a position to replace Microsoft's C runtime
library with my own (PDPCLIB), so I can distribute
executables that nobody can make claims against.
