FreeDOS and GPL-compatibility

[Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>]

Here's a teaser for all the licence enthusiasts here.

FreeDOS includes components which are licensed under the GPL.  Those
components are currently built with a compiler from Borland, and
consequently linked with the C library that comes with it.  The licence
of the library is of course not compatible with the GPL.

The question is, can the C library from Borland be considered a part of
the operating system (FreeDOS in this case)?

This will decide whether we can distribute FreeDOS binary packages as
currently it requires the Borland compiler to build.
