Hello Mark,
I'm cc-ing  mingw-dvlpr on this to see what there reaction is, but my
reaction is that,
the w32api headers and libs, as distributed by the mingw project, should
remain unlicensed.  You  can use them in your project however you like.

If you or individuals in Rewind project wish to submit patches to the
w32api, please feel free.

Danny
