It has similar and different clauses. From what I can tell, as long as
we distribute them only to run on Windows (i.e. not intentionally Wine
compliant) then we're ok. Of course, I could be completely wrong, its
a massive pile of confusing legalise. (and the license is also
copyrighted, so I can't even show you a copy!)

I don't know of any other open source project that even thinks of
displaying a microsoft license in front of their open source project,
so I'd be tempted just to ignore this happily.
