Nothing is wrong on the license side and I in fact have recived the
authors ok to do this but when submitting a patch to w32api you must
site a public source for the interface. The WINE source tree does not
count. Examples of sources are MSDN, Google results not including
Winehq and other sample code published in books.

Thanks
