License problems #8

@LynnKirby

Description

@LynnKirby

You're copying directly from the Windows SDK but the license only allows use of those headers and not modification or public distribution. Projects like mingw, Wine, and ReactOS avoid this problem by either doing a clean-room re-implementation or using the MSDN docs.

I was hoping to use this library this in a public-domain project I'm working on, but obviously the copyright violation prevents me. I'm going to continue with my original plan of writing a miniature public domain Windows.h for my own use. If you like, I will send patches that I know are not contaminated by the Microsoft license. With enough incremental changes the entire library would be fixed.
