False. If you provide cygwin1.dll you must provide its source.
Period. You can't say "it's free software, get it from cygwin.com".
You must provide a copy yourself (the exact version corresponding to the
DLL you distribute), on your server (or in the same method that you
offer the binaries.) You cannot rely on a third party to do this for
you.
