Bundling cygrunsrv with stand-alone projects

[Soeren Nils Kuklau <cygwin@chucker.rasdi.net>]

Hi,

we're working on a cross-platform server daemon which on Windows gets 
compiled through Cygwin. To make installation convenient for Windows 
users, we would like to bundle `cygwin1.dll' and the necessary files for 
`cygrunsrv' with our Windows port. Before we try and implement that on 
our side, however, we would like to know about the licensing implications.

The project is `non-commercial' (as in 1) our primary purpose isn't to 
make big bucks off it and 2) it is available for download at no cost) 
and `open-source' (as in there's an issue tracker, and we will probably 
allow anonymous SVN access to the source as the project becomes more 
stable), but not under a GPL-compatible license.

I also found rather little documentation on `cygrunsrv'. The bundled 
README file comprehensively lists possible arguments, but appears to 
assume that the daemon to be run is inside the Cygwin root directory 
(such as C:\Cygwin), whereas we believe it would make more sense to 
distribute our package for installation inside Windows' Program Files 
folder. Does `cygrunsrv' understand Windows-like paths, or can we rely 
on a `/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/'-like path structure?

Thanks in advance for pointers,
