X3270 is definitely non-free. Bummer. I'm not even sure if Debian can keep it in non-free.
According to Kevin Wozniak at GTRC:
The source code that you inquired about may not be incorporated, bundled, packaged, or accompany any other product that is sold, licensed, or provided to another user for commercial purposes....
I do feel a little guilty about not really looking into this until there was a Free (GPL/LGPL) program available to do 5250 emulation. It may be a little pointless getting this worried about a product that is only used to access the very proprietary IBM AS/400 system.
More cool stuff:
- Dairy free chocolate
- XEmacs/GTK
- Tadpole
It's a definite sensation that I've done all this before...
