The official Red Hat announcement: https://www.redhat.com/en/about/blog/cygwin-library-now-available-under-gnu= -lesser-general-public-license This change not only allows us to drop the buyout license, it also allows us to drop the requirement for contributor's to sign a copyright assignment. I'll follow up later today with a description of the new procedure for contributions (easy!, but now I have to look for releaseing 2.5.2 first. Stay tuned.
