Not trying to 'volunteer' you for this (I think the default person for that is jwhite ;) ) but sounds like a great chance to discuss/clarify/document this.

The last time I tried to give advise on this topic beyond "it's complicated" julliard called back my advise 5 seconds later :-)

Fair enough :). I wasn't expecting you to make that decision, my apologies for implying that.

Alexandre updated the wiki page https://wiki.winehq.org/Clean_Room_Guidelines on this topic:

Don't look at any Microsoft source code, even if it's made "public" under some license, e.g. don't look at the C runtime library source code that ships with their C compiler. Note that as an exception, code that is released under the MIT license (or another LGPL-compatible license) is OK to look at and copy from (with proper attribution).

So Microsoft MIT code is okay in wine, as long as it's properly attributed (i.e., maintain the license/copyright).
