I'm trying to say it isn't beyond the bounds of possibility for Microsoft to allow a more permissive license for at least a subset of their headers. Even while maintaing Windows' proprietary nature.
This particular sub thread started with apparent incredulity that I could think the headers would have anything but a very restrictive license.
- olliej 7y agoFair enough, I think that there is no reason they could - but also no reason/value for them to change the licensing. It’s in their interest to encourage developers to write software for windows, but it’s not in their interest to help developers write software that replaces windows.
