  Why?  I don't understand.  The server is Posix, and almost everything
should build as part of MingW.  There's very little that needs to be
done to port it to Windows.

  Which is already done in the server.  Is there a particular need for a
library under Windows?

  Since FreeRADIUs is under the GPL, I would say also that the variant
has to be distributed under the GPL.

  That doesn't really matter.  ANY company or individual who is
distributing a product based on FreeRADIUS code in a "libradiusd" MUST
release the full source code to their application under the GPL, OR stop
using the FreeRADIUS source code.

  If this product is distributed anywhere in the world, then the
FreeRADIUS developers *will* enforce their copyright.  I suggest you
inform your superiors that it may not be legal to sell the product you
have built.  This limitation has obvious business impacts.
