I don't think you are being too caution, either these definitions have
an explicit licence compatible with the vdagent-win one, or we should
not copy them this way. Why do we need to copy these definitions in
vdagent-win in the first place?
These definitions and structures are used in the CCD api and provided by windows, However they are absent in mingw. What are our options now?
Please note that we eliminated many of the unnecessary and unused definitions from the ones we they are now present in the cpp files.
We dropped most of definitions from Sandy’s series and left only those we really need, so there are no copy-pasted files anymore, but we cannot avoid using them at all because they are absent in MinGW.
Christophe, Fredaino, do you have any idea what to do in this case?
