Yes they are freely available for any purpose/ and open for contribution. You have just to tell that you used them.
They can be used in any plateform/langage as :
- DPMI 0.9 service available
- CPU is in 32bits Protected mode
- 486 CPU or more

driver don't care about stack / segment descriptor / ... the calling program will be responsible of that.

Planned sound card are AC'97, HD, and a CMI currently (this is what i have). So until I have an SBLIve card or maybe if you want to be bothered testing highly alpha drivers !
I'm open for discussion about this driver format license If some one want to contribute. I'm just not thinking about GPL/LGPL as they force to release source code. Maybe a hardware constructor will one day want to release a DOS driver with this format using existing source and he don't want to reveal his secrets :-D
