Not just DLL after DLL.
MS DLLs of course are not included in ISO releases. Nor they could come under license of the releases.
They though might work, but they not necessarily are tested nor they are planned to be used.

Support for the project by Russian Federation state is an important impellent to release a working package of that open source OS which is with no tight license.
(If we would speak about a tight license - it makes (would make) useless crap from a project.)
And about the criticism to state support : if there will be no ROS, people will have either to use Windows itself, or Linux+Wine. Would that limitation be better ?
And that is not the first place - that is the second place for support to a client/server OS project (the first place was given to some Linux project http://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=42406 ).

There no such decision had place, one which would be against implementation of DirectX.
From the other side, DX could be just taken and installed.
