Subject: Combining Cygwin with non-free portability libraries
Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 16:18:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.61.0410141215560.24756@slinky.cs.nyu.edu> (raw)

Incidentally, while perusing the GPL FAQ, I stumbled upon
<http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MoneyGuzzlerInc>.  There seem to be
several cases of Cygwin packages that may do something similar (in fact,
Cygwin itself technically does that :-D).  Are there implications?
Should Cygwin have a clause in the licensing explicitly allowing some
particular instances of this, just to make sure things work smoothly?
	Igor
P.S. Any lawyers reading this list? ;-)
