MinGW runtime licensing *********************** According to , the MinGW runtime is in the public domain. However, this is contradicted by the source package mingwrt-3.17-mingw32-src.tar.gz containing copyrighted files that evidently end up in the final runtime in compiled form. Therefore it seems at least prudent (and probably required) to include the following notices. The Windows binaries in TeX Live compiled against the mingw runtime are xz, xzdec, xindy, the lcdf-typetools utilities, and jbig2. The below is a copy of the mingw-w64 runtime notice. We hope/believe that is a superset of the required notices for mingw. http://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mingw-w64/trunk/COPYING.MinGW-w64-runtime/ The first section here is clearly about mingw-64 and not mingw and so is irrelevant to mingw as stated, but we leave it as their presumed statement of intent. If the mingw maintainers create a definitive file for runtime notices, we will more than happily use it! --TeX Live (http://tug.org/texlive) --W32TeX (http://w32tex.org/) ======================== Overall copyright notice ======================== Copyright (c) 2009, 2010 by the mingw-w64 project This license has been certified as open source.

Moshier It sounds vague, but as to be found at , it gives an impression that the author could be willing to give an explicit permission to distribute those files e.g. under a BSD style license. So probably there is no problem here, although it could be good to get a permission from the author and then add a license into the Cephes files in MinGW runtime. At least on follow-up it is marked that debian sees the version a-like BSD one. As MinGW.org (where those cephes parts are coming from) distributes them now over 6 years, it should be fine. =================================== Headers and IDLs imported from Wine =================================== Some header and IDL files were imported from the Wine project.
