Both DJGPP and Watcom allow you to choose your own distribution terms.

The only exception is an exception for both of them - if you use GPL
or LGPL code IN YOUR APP (i.e. cut and past gcc's symbol table code
into your program, or link -lg++ instead of -lstdcxx), then you must
comply with the copyright for that code - GPL or LGPL.  Even if you
built your program win MSVC++, use of GPL/LGPL code in your app makes
your program a GPL/LGPL program.
