MKS Toolkit is collection of bunch of GNU utilities, which are already
part of Cygwin. I am not sure why would you like to pay 200 buck for
something GNU utils which are available free from several places on
Internet, including source code from GNU itself. I am also not sure how MKS
charge for those utilities which were written by GNU, like sh, sed and ls
etc etc.
