IANALE, but my reading is a little different. I think that all its saying
is that you can't release your software under a license that forces the
-microsoft- libraries to be open source. According to www.gnu.org, that
shouldn't be a problem:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WindowsRuntimeAndGPL
Anyway, better solutions have already been offered so I'll say no more on
this thread.
Benjamin.
