From a = cursory spot check of a few files, the crt sources in particular appear = to contain too much undocumented material that I suspect may be derived = from proprietary sources. I have since avoided looking at the mingw-w64 = sources to avoid any taint of copyright abuse. I could well be wrong, = but I would rather be safe than jeopardise the future of the mingw32, = which has tried to maintain a "clean-room" ethic during its development. = I hope that you can prove me wrong about the derivation of these = sources. If you wish to submit specific patches to mingw runtime or w32api, = please do so in the usual manner, and I will review them as per any = other patch. I am strongly opposed to a wholesale merge of your sources = with mingw32 sources without an independent audit of the changes.=20 I speak for myself only.=20 Danny=20 |
