I cannot distribute a game that uses .bsp files because I would have to get a license

I think you misunderstand. I was requesting more info about requiring a license to use bsp files.

And this is coming from a mod....


 

Personally, I love this guys enthusiasm, couldnt care less if it's futile... it's kind of alluring. I cant help but keep reading when his opening gambit was a promise to mention whoever helped him on his website. He at once respects and poo-poo's copyrights. I don't what's making this guy tick. He's an enigma

This revived the idea from the back of my head of years ago, whether it couldn't be feasible to make oldschool-ish games targeting DOSBox. At least it's less of a hassle than back in the day with regards to stuff like, you don't need to support 10 soundcards, you know DOSBox will have SB16, GUS, ... emulations - pick one and be good.
And then sell it on GOG, if they let one (I have no idea about their policies or requirements).

One of the things putting me off is using old C++ or C versions, presumably not even compliant with old standards, which e.g. Open WATCOM has...
