This includes: tcltrf (source) * win/msvcrt.dll This is part of Windows. I don't expect Debian has been granted permission to distribute it. :) I wonder how many of these DLLs and EXEs link together code licensed under the GPL with versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime that does not ship with Windows (and hence qualify for the 'major parts of the operating system' exception)? «i686-w64-mingw32-objdump -p foo.dll | grep 'DLL Name'» will output a list of dependant DLLs. The bad ones to look for match at least «msvc[pr] [0-9]+.dll» or «mfc[0-9]+.dll» (case-insensitively). I'd do this myself, but I don't have the hard drive space nor the bandwidth here, sorry.
