Thanks Rikki, I'm aware of that, but my question is about the
current DWT distribution.
Right now, these files are distributed with DWT
(https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86/tree/master/lib).
The DWT build script links to these files, not the ones
distributed with DMD.
According to my interpretation of
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=294840...

Subject to the license terms for the software, the .lib files
under the following directories may be distributed unmodified
when built as part of your program:
Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x86
Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x64
Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\arm

... the lib files must be compiled into the user's binary.
I need to reconcile if DWT is adhering to the redistribution
license. Knowing how Digital Mars justifies redistribution of
these file with DMD will help me reach a conclusion.
