Hi Tom,

We've made this package block FE-LEGAL because we're not entirely sure if the
contents of this package (and the mingw-crt package, bug 673792) are okay to
add to Fedora. In earlier discussions on the fedora-mingw mailing list there
have been some signals about a legal audit which should be done:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/mingw/2010-March/002557.html
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/mingw/2010-May/002589.html
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/mingw/2011-January/003347.html

As we're uncertain if Red Hat/Fedora approves the use of these libraries and
headers we decided to have RH-Legal/Fedora legal take a look at it before
continuing with the introduction of mingw-w64 in Fedora.

Kai Tietz, one of the mingw-w64 developers has been hired by Red Hat recently
and he started to get the legal issues cleared in Red Hat internally. I don't
know what the progress of that is, but perhaps you could get in touch with each
other for further discussion?
