Subject: Cygwin CD licensing?
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 13:51:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000b01bfa3f7$ae700610$9893a8c0@macaw1.corp.ka.com> (raw)

Redhat,

I'm using the cygwin tools from the Cygwin CD on a consulting project.  I'm
just writing shell scripts and tcl, so I'm not using the GNUPro tools, or
linking to the cygwin.dll.  But I need to advise my customer exactly what
they need to do to use the CD at their site.

I understand that the installer (hence the CD) is copyrighted by
Cygnus/Redhat, and isn't under the GPL.  Therefore, I can't distribute
copies of the CD.  That's fine- my customer can certainly afford to buy
their own.

But the more important question, usually answered by a license, is what can
our customer do with a single copy of the CD?  Can you install it on exactly
one machine?  Do you need one copy per user?   Can you install it on
multiple machines from a single CD?

Given the very reasonable price, it doesn't really matter that much which
option it is, but I'd like to give them the "official" answer.

Thanks,

Keith Graham
