more a historical artifact than a real porting opportunity: it seems some month ago a DOS/Windows RTS game from the 90s was open sourced -> some kind of Polish warcraft 1 clone https://github.com/jstasiak/polanie-src https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polanie_(video_game)

movie playback is indeed one problem with the windows version I had. I remember also some kind of timing errors, I think partly fixed by timeslip's patch. But overall, the game is far from being hassle free under windows with new systems.

Great news, M-HT! will there be also a new Windows build? The original version is known to have multiple problems (see Timeslip's patches http://timeslip.users.sourceforge.net/index.html) which could be fixed with your version or new builds

another example is Freecad which had some GPLv2 only dependencies (and the FSF insisted for some library on GPLv3, which made it impossible to use) there is also LGPlv2 and LGPLv3 incompatibility (the GPL variants) . https://nikmav.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-perils-of-lgplv3.html ... "GPLv2 or...

The problem with the GPLv3 is the missing backwards compatiblity. The GPLv2+ is comaptible with GPLv2 & GPLv3 but GPLv3 is not with GPLv2. This became a problem for several projects already.
