Hmm... Let me gues... The author??? The law???
The problem is when you want to distribute the program you've made. Might
always be possibly that the author discovers it, and he is allowed to sue
you, and that'll cost you lots of money.
But to come a little bit back on-topic, in PCGPE you can find the description
of the FLI file format, and you'll see it's pretty easy. You can just code
it yourself, and I think own-code is much better than somebody else's code.

That's why you use DJGPP, probably?

But Wine is improving, it can run lots of games, and also Office97 IIRC.
