Do we need to put in something like that too?
I'm not a lawyer (but I can probably get one). My understanding is that the "protocols" Microsoft policy don't really affect us. What may affect us is the wider and wider distribution of the Windows source code (Shared Source). We should not be highly affected by trade secrets: anyone publishing a trade secret is nullifying the secretness of it, and is the one bearing the responsibility for this action. However, copyright problems may be a problem for us. If someone takes a significant amount of code from MS and submits it, we may have some backtracking to do.

Oh, right, I've seen it before, but I didn't think about Wine then.
I vote for including it (in modified form, if necessary).
Better be safe than sorry (you never know what M$ will do two days later).
