is it ok to put struct definitions from msdn into gpl / opensource projects? How did the windows headers in mingw become free?

A: 

Depends where the structs are from. Generally I would have said that MS owns them you'd need their permission. Wouldn't the easiest thing be just to ask them?

asking would be for permission.My question: is permission necessary?
