This is also related to Godot "The reason to make it optional is that Direct3D 12 support currently relies on the proprietary dxil.dll library from the DirectX Shader Compiler being shipped together with Godot, and shipping proprietary software goes against the mission of the Godot project." https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-3-dev-3...

Which part of dxil/dxc is proprietary exactly? Trying to make sense of the license barf at https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler

The source code for dxil.dll is not part of that repo.

Looks like this is another case of "Microsoft loves Open Source" then.

Are any libraries from the Windows SDK open source? Windows application code calling into libraries that are not open source is nothing new.
