If you don't use libgpp.a or libgpl.a, don't use bison or flex, and
don't rebuild go32.exe, then you may do whatever you like with your
programs.  You may redistribute the binaries of go32, emu387, and the
graphics drivers as they are shipped with djgpp as long as you tell
your customers how to get djgpp.

The GPL/LGPL applies if you link libgpp.a or libgpl.a, or use bison or
flex, change go32's sources, or use any other GPL sources (like gcc's
sources) as part of your program (like linking gcc's cexp.o into your
app).
