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.
