I presume that you're considering linking with cygwin.dll to be
making a derivative work[1], and if so this would seem to indicate
that you must make sources available to anyone who wants them
(indeed, you could argue that it institutes a duty of distribution).
Apparently cygwin32 was not under GPL up to version 16. The sudden copyright
change may have misled some users about the potential interest of gnu-win32
for them and thus their involvement in beta testing it. In any case one
could stick with version 16.
