Here's the portion that applies to the locale patch (though I can easily rewrite all portions I've peek from the EMX):
The emx libraries are not distributed under the GPL. Linking an
application with the emx libraries does not cause the executable to be
covered by the GNU General Public License. You are allowed to change
and copy the emx library sources if you keep the copyright message
intact. If you improve the emx libraries, please send your
enhancements to the emx author (you should copyright your enhancements
similar to the existing emx libraries). Of course, all this does not
apply to the libraries which are distributed under the GPL or the GNU
Library General Public License (LGPL, see \emx\doc\COPYING.LIB) or the
BSD license (see \emx\doc\COPYING.BSD), such as termcap.a, gpp.a and
curses.a.
