yes, I got the news from OpenWatcom announcement list as well. It's
definitely interesting, but the way might not be as straightforward as
it could seem. First, I don't know the exact license conditions yet
(for this binary patch, that's it - this might be different from the
final open-source release).
I've checked it now - it's a binary patch release for existing customers, so nothing generally useable yet. Hopefully the real open- source will come soon with some not too restrictive license (the license hasn't been chosen yet).
