Emulators and patches

Hi, You recently modified the Emulator_licensing_issues article with additions like: "needs a patch to build with free software compilation". Could you point to the respective patches? That would be very nice.

In the case of FreeDOS and DOSEMU, the compiler used is under the openwatcom license, which is clearly non-free.

I'd be very interested in looking at the patch, since FreeDOS is affected, and some other projects also uses that compiler. Knowing how not to depend on such compiler is also very useful.

As for the other emulators, it might be interesting for the parabola developers, to have less work to do, in the case where they might want to add such emulators to parabola. It could happen if free software (games/software) appear for that platform, or other components are freed.
