I am thinking of used some of the source code from the DOSBOX application for my project called revenge. It will be done research into reverse engineering and decompiling.
I will only be taking some .c files from the project and using them only as a template.
Are the authors of this DOSBOX project happy with this sort of use of their source code? I don't want to upset anyone.
So nice of you to ask permission before doing such a thing.

DOSBox is released under the GNU/GPL license. Please read the license to understand its terms and conditions of use.
Yes, it’s my fault.
I know it was GPL, and that by making something GPL you are encouraging the sort of thing I am planning to do, as long as I also release under GPL.
Having said this. I previously cut and pasted sections of someone's GPL code, I left in references to their original code, and they became very annoyed about the cut and paste action. I do not want to get into that situation again.

I'm not sure if the cpu core of dosbox is the best part (for your operation/project)
I suggest that you compile dosbox with --enable-debug switch to configure
and start dosbox afterwards from an Xterm
Then you see a debugger that might be more related to your project than a full cpu decoder.

How to ask questions the smart way!

The people you took the code from are obviously idiots then.
If they had a problem with what you did, then they should have chosen a different license to the GPL.
here here, damien.
Yes, it’s my fault.
