I think the people you should be asking this question are your ex and his brother. It's not like there's some kind of ethical code you'd be breaking.

I don't see why not. After all, you and he are not related by blood, and it has been quite a long time since your divorce......being widowed often does take at least a year for the surviving spouse to heal from that experience - although if the marriage was unhappy, then probably a lot less time.
So, if your former brother-in-law is emotionally ready to begin dating again (has he dated anyone else since his wife died, by the way?) and wants to date you, I too say go for it!
Only thing to be aware of is whether your ex-husband would have any objections - not that he has a right to (unless of course he knows something negative about your former bil that would make him concerned for your welfare). As mentioned at the beginning, its something to be aware of, that's all.

People are people. Some will be ok with it, some won't and some won't care. If you're happy go for it! Turn around once and there goes 10 years, twice and there goes 20. Carpe diem, seize the day.
