Software compiled with gcc is not automatically copylefted, and we don't incorporate any copylefted code into Executor. The djgpp team avoids incorporating such code into their libraries. We have a good relationship with the core djgpp team. They have been extremely helpful and responsive to our needs. I suspect that they find Executor to be a cool example of what can be done with djgpp. ARDI contributes bug fixes and improvements to djgpp on a regular basis.

That bug has been fixed "in house", and will go away in 1.99m (due out fairly soon). -Mat
