Including just cygwin1.dll in an archive

["David Benn" <dbenn@computer.org>]

Hi all

From the cygwin Licensing terms on the web, it appears to me that I
cannot distribute an archive that looks like this:

Archive:  scope_dist.zip
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
        0  09-10-05 23:43   scope_dist/
   971080  09-10-05 23:43   scope_dist/cygwin1.dll
        0  09-10-05 23:43   scope_dist/driver/
   121158  09-10-05 23:43   scope_dist/driver/ascom.dll
    22297  09-10-05 23:43   scope_dist/driver/skeleton.dll
    22706  09-10-05 23:43   scope_dist/scope_client.dll
    22814  09-10-05 23:43   scope_dist/tests.exe
 --------                   -------
  1160055                   7 files

for end users, irrespective of whether another archive containing full
sources, Makefiles etc is separately released. 

The point of contention here is the inclusion of cygwin1.dll. This is an
*unmodified* cygwin1.dll.

Can someone please advise me or tell me where to find out?

I'd be happy to replace the need for this dll with static linking,
assuming that's even *possible* under cygwin. If it is, a pointer would
be appreciated. 

Of course, I'd have thought that whether the code is in the cygwin1.dll
or in my binaries is a fine distinction.

Note that this is a freeware project so paying money for license fees is
not my first preference.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Rgds,
