There is no propriety version of the Cygwin DLL. The distinction (the idea being about 15 years old) was only for the sake of being able to identify the upstream from the supported version. The supported version will just get an own subversion and a marker, along the lines of "2.0.5rh". > IIRC it's currently the case > that version 1. indicates a closed-source license version, and 1. > indicates a GPL-licensed version. There are no Cygwin versions for which the source code isn't available, While, technically, a third party can purchase a GPL buyout for their own, proprietary product, the Cygwin sources are always freely available.
