If anyone responds to this please excise the private email messages when
doing so.  I don't want this cluttering my inbox and I know that
Corinna doesn't either.

I was just wondering when your equivalent of Thor's Hammer was hitting
the guy.

By the way on
http://www.student.tugraz.at/thomas.plank/

the author packed separatly all the needed dll's

$ unzip dlls.zip
Archive:  dlls.zip
   inflating: cygintl-8.dll
   inflating: cygiconv-2.dll

$ unzip cygwin1.dll_1.7.9_.zip
Archive:  cygwin1.dll_1.7.9_.zip
   inflating: cygwin1.dll

without  any trace of source code except the note
"Sources of the DLLs and additional information concerning cygwin
can be found here: http://www.cygwin.com"

Cheers
Marco

I figured maybe somebody else would talk to him.

I do have something sitting in my "postponed" folder on the chance that
I see any further indignation coming from the OP's direction about his
imaginary requirements for how Cygwin should work.

I think that this has previously been noted.  Arguing with people about
GPL requirements is something that I have grown to really detest.

Anyone else want to contact this guy?  I'll bet he really loves free
software and his reading of the GPL allows this usage and why do we
pick on people who are supporters of free software and his lawyer said
it was ok.
