Headers contain facts, and facts cannot be copyrighted. Also the sdk headers
are the only source of information. Collecting them from the msdn is not
going to work.
The typing of the header itself is copyrighted though, so you must not
copypaste from the MS Header. The wine header should be implemented as
differently as possible, but still be 100% compatible. Especially watch out
that the wine header includes the same files the other header does.
