Re: Licensing Terms


Cygwin's licensing terms are spelled out here:

  http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/licensing.html

Basically, not only can you *not* distribute cygwin's
dll without sources, but if you use cygwin's dll,
you can *not* distribute *your* program without sources
either.

To ship a dll or a cygwin-built program without
sources, you would need to purchase a commercial
cygwin license from Cygnus, and you will be
given a version of cygwin that allows non-free
use and redistribution.

"gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
