The license of WATTCP is a bit hard to find out. At the moment it is
distributed by its author Erick Engelke at:
http://www.erickengelke.com/wattcp/ <http://www.erickengelke.com/wattcp/>
The license of this official version from 14. September 2015 is in the
/include/copyrigh.h file. I append it as text further down this mail.
As I understand it, you can use the WATTCP library to produce commercial or
open source software. The library itself is not allowed to be sold. This could
conflict with FreeDOS, as some vendors in the past have bundled their hardware
with FreeDOS which could be seen as commercial distribution.
In 2005 WATTCP was distributed by a site called http://www.wattcp.com/
<http://www.wattcp.com/>. This site also sold the WATTCP manual. The download
file was called wat1104.zip and included a copyrigh.h file which stated WATTCP
was GNU LGPL. I also quote this text a bit further down in this mail.
The FreeDOS site at
http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=wattcp
<http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=wattcp>
points to another version of WATTCP at
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/wattcp/
<http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/wattcp/>
This version is from 05. June 2001 and includes a copyrigh.h file similar to
the version from 2015.
All versions contain sources. As I see it, the relevant license is the one from
September 2015.
I send this mail in BCC to Erick Engelcke in the hope, he might give us a hint
if WATTCP can or should be distributed with FreeDOS.
Thanks a lot!

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
