Art,

You can use the EMC source code in ANY way you see fit! Providing you
don't break any "other" U.S. laws or international treaties while
doing so...

Yes, you can offer Mastercontrol based on EMC source. Whether it is
FULLY EMC source or PARTLY EMC source makes no difference. You just
can't sell this "hi-technology" software to our (USA) enemies...
At least not without "checking" whether the PRODUCT you are offering
violates U.S. laws and/or treaties.

Think like this. The government publishes "pamphlets" on making
alcohol as an alternative fuel. The research which preceded these
pamphlets (source code, if you will) was done by Gov't employees on
Gov't time. You can USE this info to build a still, but ya better not
be sellin' moonshine!

Hope this makes sense.
