From the IBM C Set/2 License Information Version 1.0 booklet, page 5:

Redistribution Information
--------------------------

Only the following IBM C Set/2 modules may be copied onto your application
diskette(s) when your application is dependent on them:

o all header (.H) files
o all library (.LIB) files
o all include (.INC) files

Each diskette copy of any of the above modules must be labelled as follows:

Contains IBM C Set/2 Runtime Modules (c) Copyright IBM Corporation 1992.  All
Rights Reserved.

Copies of these modules are provided "AS IS."

The label information is not required for source and object code that is
integrated into your application program during the normal compilation process.

This seems to answer the question of whether GCC/2 or emx/gcc can use C Set/2
header files and libraries.  The answer appears to be yes.

It does not say that dynamic link (.DLL) files can be distributed; presumably,
this means that all applications compiled with C Set/2 that use the runtime
library must be statically linked.  It also is very specific about
distributing the modules on an application diskette.  I don't really think
that IBM means that other means of distribution---tape, CD-ROM, network,
BBS---are not allowed, but that is a possible interpretation.
