I could not find the license under OSD Approved Licenses. And it's way too
longer to get an idea about it without spending several hours with a lawyer

Not beeing a lawyer either, AT&T points out the difference to other Open
Source licenses and it remembers me strongly at Cygwin's own policy (only
that AT&T wants to have any rights on the patches). Since it compiles OOTB
anyway and you do not have to change anything and the distribution of source
is provided by Cygwin's setup, I cannot see any basic difference to other OS
licenses. To get an agreement recipiants of the package is problematic for
any license, according to German law someone must have read the license
always *before* installation to bound to it (at least this is the general
direction) ... would be quite unhandy for distributions <g>
