</ul>
<p>Prior to version 4.0,

with no synchronization of their version numbers.
There is a commonly held misconception,

<p>From version 4.0 onwards,
-the two constituents of the “MinGW.org Windows System Libraries”
+the two constituents of the “MinGW.OSDN Windows System Libraries”
have been published as an integrated package set;
(version 4.x blurred the distinction between the two constituents;
version 5.x reinstated it,
from the release of version 4.0,
and on account of the inadmissibility of the very concept of public domain,
in certain legal jurisdictions,
-the entire “MinGW.org Windows System Libraries” suite

has been published under the terms of

some alternative <em>explicit</em> licence was already applicable;
such elements retain their original licensing terms).
