DJGPP has a special exception from the GNU license: if a program was
produced with the stock (i.e. unchanged) versions of the libraries
distributed as part of djdevNNN.zip package, the resulting program can
be distributed without the sources.  This is explained in the DJGPP
FAQ list, section 19.1.  That's how the Doom game was distributed by
id Software without sources, quite legally.

Note that I don't know anything about Bt848 Software developer kit,
and the other points you mentioned do indeed indicate that the sources
should be included.
