According to copying.dj, the sources to libc (and some other bits) > are under the LGPL That's only the first of the 4 terms of DJ's license. One of the other 3 says: * Runtime objects and libraries, as provided by DJ in DJGPP, when linked into an application, may be distributed without sources ONLY if the recipient is given sufficient information to obtain a copy of djgpp themselves. This primarily applies to crt0.o and libc.a. This means that binaries linked with an unmodified libc.a can be distributed without sources. LGPL doesn't have this allowance. Unless you include an identical exception in your license, your contribution is incompatible with the library's distribution terms.
