Actually I remember developers on the Wine mailing list putting into
question wether or not READING MSDN was legal and if this would bar
someone from submitting patches to Wine. I believe this is what
Magnus is referring to.

those sources of documentation can be MSDN, if its not MSDN explain
how you came to figure out the prototype either via test case or
reversing the third party application using the implementation. NOT
REVERSING the implementation itself and then reimplementing it.
Let me clear the above up, Application or Driver. If you can't point a
third party
driver, public documentation or some other application using the API
why the hell
would you need to implement it if no one uses it? And more to the
point where
would you get your information for a clean-room implementation
unless you follow
industry standard rules and let someone else reverse the API for you.
