Still GPL is better than the commercial only license it was previously 
available as.

Compiling it for windows Mobile will be very challenging . The windows 
implementation will use a lot of system calls - only a subset of those 
calls will be available on windows mobile. The source would need 
modifying to only use resources available under windows mobile.
