Oops, I should have scrolled down farther. Looks like winpriv.c was
further modified by Jari Aalto, and actually sports a GPLv2+ license
(and re-reading the license of the code Jari(?) adopted from Chris, it
seems like a combo of BSD with the MIT/X disclaimer tacked on). Either
way, it should be compatible with the needs of gnulib.
I, and I hope all those associated with the code, would be willing to
release it to gnulib under a plain old LGPLv3+ license -- or even a
more permissive one. (dunno if Chris Rodgers is still contactable, tho).
But before we try contacting everybody for a license change, take a look
and see if it even contains the stuff you want/need.
