-mwindows copyright?

[PositivePi@aol.com]

Hi..

  I'm using the -mno-cygwin and -mwindows options to compile my program.  I'm 
also binding to several other windows libs such as -lwsock32.  I want to 
distribute my programs--as well as source--entirely public domain.  The 
copyright on all of the mingw libraries seems to be public domain, so I'm ok 
there.  But looking at the windows libraries in the source, some of them have 
copyrights such as winsup/sysdef/wsock32.def:
--snip--

Does this mean that if I use -mwindows/-lwsock32 I either have to distribute 
my program under GNU, or write my own .def's for windows API? (which I 
imagine would be a minor pain)
