Licensing Question

The MingW32 project is developing its own set of Windows headers under a
different license than Wine (which uses LGPL, right?) and I have noticed
(using both projects) that the Wine headers are more complete in a
number of areas. I was wondering if it would be acceptable to use the
Wine headers as a source for filling in gaps in the MinGW32 headers? In
essence, would the Wine group be willing to allow this cross pollination
since (clearly) it would be a violation of the licenses as they stand
today. Any thoughts on this? Or am I treading into a minefield?? :-)
