Oops... it looks like OSI smoked something especially bad this time,
I'm afraid. This license looks like someone took his time to collect
every single problematic clause.
Debian-legal may provide you with a clause-by-clause analysis, but

the moment you use openwatcom to compile any work-related piece of
software (thus not "Personal Use"), you need to make the source of
openwatcom publicly available for 12 months.
