There are no licensing terms.  I obtained the source and have ported  
it to Linux and Mac OS X.  Of the pieces of the C compiler that we do  
have:

- cc: there are replacement executives on rtsi that we can use  
instead of Microware's.
- c.prep: we have the open source cprep19 that is actually better  
than Microware's
- c.comp and c.opt: we only have the Microware versions of these  
modules.
- rma: the source we have for this was written by Dave Breeding and  
thus does not depend on Microware
- rlink: Tim Lindner and I are working on rlink at the moment and it  
should be done soon.

I have secured permission from Carl Kreider to include his excellent  
C library, so we don't even need Microware's.

So by pulling together various components, we can *mostly* wean the  
tool-chain from Microware's source.  The only two components, c.comp  
and c.opt, are probably the bulk of the compiler, and clean rewrites  
of those would take some time.
