Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 13:51:00 -0000 Message-id: <000b01bfa3f7$ae700610$9893a8c0@macaw1.corp.ka.com> References: <38EE68A4.2CFC51BB@vinschen.de> X-SW-Source: 2000-04/msg00144.html 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.
