Who holds the copyright on the Cygwin source code? Red Hat owns the copyright on the Cygwin source code. Red Hat requires that copyright be assigned to Red Hat for non-trivial changes to Cygwin. You must fill out a copyright transfer form if you are going to contribute substantial changes to Cygwin." Has that not been assigned to the project? And also: https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.what.copyright "7.1. What are the copyrights? 7.1. What are the copyrights? Please see https://cygwin.com/licensing.html for more information about Cygwin copyright and licensing." -> "Cygwin™ Linking Exception As a special exception, the copyright holders of the Cygwin library" Is that the project? Or does it belong to the authors individually and/or the project or the "Cygwin authors" collectively? Could we please be as current and explicit as possible in the FAQs once current situation is clear and wording is agreed? Thinking that Cygwin/X FAQ 12.6 should defer to Cygwin FAQ 7.1. Willing to submit FAQ patches ;^> -- Take care.
