Re: [Mingw-users] Why does mingw use visual c library and calls itself completely open source

By that definition there is NO completely open source SW on any closed
source OS, be it M$ Windows or Apple OSX or whatever. Simply because
any program for such OS will include calls to closed source OS calls.

Maybe your understanding of what open source means and what mingw is
might need some adjustment.

Best wishes,
