There's a discussion going on about Windows header files that has

Header files may be an issue with the database implementations. For

others). Does that mean it is tainted by GPL and I can't make it Boost?
Do we have a license specialist in our group?

I cannot find any information regarding this now, but I seem to remember
this has been tried and that header files is legal to translate and
change license. I think it has been the case with ReactOS and MinGW.
