It includes a requirement to preserve all trademark notices, making it
GPL-incompatible.

It's only used for the Windows-build, so I don't see how the
GPL-incompatibility would be relevant here (i.e., it's just a bundled
library that isn't used, iiuc).  Still, it probably makes sense to
remove that code to avoid doubt.

Thanks for reporting,
