Didn't you say that your application did not use EOF?
If you don't need EOF, Special User / Developer may be enough. Since
you don't want to deploy your application on OPENSTEP, you should not
need the Commercial User license.
Even in the case where you needed EOF, since your ultimate goal is to
port it to GNUstep, and gdl implements only EOF-1 API, I guess the EOF
bundled with the Academic Bundle is at least version 2 I guess, and
won't be useful to you. You can use EOF-1 ("ENTERPRISE OBJECTS
FRAMEWORK 1.1") on OPENSTEP 4.2.
