Dear Cygwin Licensing Team, 

What are the licensing terms for native Windows apps developed under Cygwin by compiling and linking with the -mno-cygwin flag?  These apps do not use the Cygwin dll.  Can they be distributed as proprietary apps without purchasing the Redhat Cygwin license buy-out? 

I have studied the GPL FAQ and the Cygwin Licensing Page and did not see a clear answer to this case. 

Sincerely, 

Steve Siano
