"cygwin" is basically the "cygwin" package, or better, the code in the source package which comes under the "winsup/cygserver", "winsup/cygwin", "winsup/lsaauth", and "winsup/utils" directory, except for the source files which are explicitely given another license (mostly BSD). The files installed from the "cygwin" binary package are covered by this. > I say that because I looked in my old Cygwin install ("find c:/ d:/ > -type d -name winsup -print") for a winsup directory but couldn't > find it, and then fetched the latest cygwin-1.7.9-1.tar.bz2 and > looked inside that for a winsup directory but again couldn't find a > directory called anything like "winsup".
