So for the decimal floating point library, as long as the licensing makes sense, I can't see why it would be a problem.
I do not know about the license restrictions, but if they are anything like what it takes to get the source, I doubt it is very friendly. To download the source, you first have to join the IBM alpha group (the registration wants everything but shoe size). Also, on the download page, there is a link to get a commercial license. Since I did not want to register with them, I still have not looked at the source, but I looked at the old documentation... According to the documentation, it is a reference implementation, so I thought the license would be fairly friendly. Has anyone looked at the license?
