License of Interop.WIA.dll and Microsoft.Ink.dll files

[Eric]

I am trying to get paintdotnet packaged for Fedora. When running make
dist in the src dir, there are 2 binary dlls that get bundled in the
source tarball. Could anybody let me know what license those files are
under and where I can get source code if they are Free?

Thanks,

You can drop those files as they are not used in Linux anyways.

I have tried to remove those dll in the %prep macro, prior to building
but when missing those files seem to wreak havoc. I then removed them
in the %install macro, after building, but I then get missing deps
when installing the rpm.
$ sudo rpm -ivh ../RPMS/i386/paintdotnet-0.1-0.2.63svn.fc10.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
mono(Interop.WIA) = 1.0.0.0 is needed by
paintdotnet-0.1-0.2.63svn.fc10.i386
mono(Microsoft.Ink) = 1.7.2600.2180 is needed by
paintdotnet-0.1-0.2.63svn.fc10.i386

Although when forcing install with --nodeps paintdotnet starts up
properly.

In the end, I would think the desired behaviour would be to remove non
free dlls prior to building. Any hints would be appreciated.

Hello,

    Those files should really not be referenced anywhere.   If they are, the calling code has to drop the reference, they should be entirely unused.
