I think we will all skip the "toy" qualifier since we know how much it is used. Anyway, iirc, TDM has mentioned he didn't enjoy some of the licenses involved (and for winpthreads in particular I think but don't take my word on that). I'm wondering if reaading from his website hasn't shown you only half of the picture. Complying with the MIT license is definitely not difficult. Even Apple manages to do it. It is mostly a matter of putting the corresponding text somewhere which can be accessed; for GUI applications, this typically goes under "About" into the "Help" menu. Note also that many toolchains are available and listed on http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/download.php . Most have moved to posix threading but version 1.3 of win-builds.org is still available at http://win-builds.org/1.3 . You are also free to build toolchains yourself in case none of the existing configuration combinations fit your needs.
