The web page about the project
http://kegel.com/wine/sweng/2009/
makes it clear that the work had to be LGPL, and the students were
fine with that.
The final presentation about that code,
http://kegel.com/wine/sweng/2009/dxdiag_presentation.ppt
says
"Features: ...
Now free and open source
Previous implementation was owned by Microsoft
Could not ship with Wine"
so they understood that they were writing free software that would
ship with wine.

The authors, according to that presentation, are
Allen Hair, Brian Nguyen, David Woo, David Hwang, Linh Pham, and Edward Chang.

I'm pretty sure it's ok to merge.
