There are some general purpose libraries like cygwin1.dll in the
repository. What about their sources?
I believe all of them are GPLv2-or-later, with the exception of poppler,
for which I committed the source a few days ago. Therefore I am taking
advantage of the clause in GPLv3 which allows specifying network
locations instead of including all the actual sources for all those
massive libraries. The files are Master/source/*.README.
Master/tlpkg/texworks/libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
Hadn't noticed that one. Jonathan? Is it just part of gcc? I don't
recall seeing the "dw2-1" ever before.
Master/bin/win32/msvcp71.dll
Master/bin/win32/msvcr71.dll
I hate those libraries. But anyway, my recollection is that when I
researched it before, these particular versions are ok. Anyway, other
people can feel free to delete them. I'm not going to right now.
