As discussed in one of the earlier bug #28729

We can use libhivex, its LGPL V2.1
https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex/blob/master/LICENSE

Quoting myself from bug #28729 comment #8:
(partly colliding with text of Vijay Kamuju from comment #2)

--- snip ---
Wine probably could use hivex/libhivex [3], especialy given that NeoSmart
developers test it by contacting author itself, Richard W.M. Jones [4].

Then I see libhivex mentioned in the changelog [5] of fred -- cross-platform
Forensic Registry EDitor [6].  I just found it's source but haven't looked at
it yet: [7].

It seems hivex/libhivex is covered by LPGL, while fred uses GPL.
