But what about the shfolder.dll? Should we and are we allowed to redistribute it with Geany(dunno about all the licencing stuff). Or should we just mention it in the README file with a link to the Microsoft site
Well, I'm not a lawyer, but don't think it would be a good idea to distribute a closed-source DLL with a GPL program.
Maybe you can mention that it's needed, but the download link from MS is no longer valid. I did manage to track it down to here: http://tinyurl.com/3fl9s - but microsoft's website has a bad habit of moving things around, and I would guess that download is probably not going to be around much longer anyway.
(I really hope there aren't that much Win9x users out there)?
Maybe we could convince them they should upgrade the missing DLL at http://www.ubuntu.com/ :-)
