"Proprietary packages from Intel and Microsoft were also seemingly included in the release's build tools"

Can anyone speak to this? To me, it's the most interesting bit in this article. Does this mean Winamp developers had access to libraries of Intel/MS that are not publicly available?

Could this be the random installers that were present in a folder of the repo? They had some C++ installers and I think a random Intel driver in there...
