Most stock implementations on Windows seem to have the original BSD license.
However, I found one that should work at < http://suacommunity.com/dictionary/getopt-entry.php>. The getopt_source.zip has two files, getopt.h and getopt_long.c, and the getopt_long.c licenses are modified BSD (i.e., fully permissive and GPL compatible). The getopt.h license has the original BSD license, so don't use that. Use one that either has no license or is derived some other way. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Pedro F.

Can we first merge mingwport35 CWS, though? I suspect that would touch some of those files and I don't want to introduce conflicts to the Oracle updates just yet. Pedro.
