Cygwin is open source software released under the LGPLv3. Now that Red Hat have stopped providing new Cygwin support contracts, I'm not aware of anyone who counts as a "vendor" and who would sign up to provide any particular contractual support for Cygwin. Furthermore, Cygwin v1.7 stopped being current some time in 2015, and I don't think even the voluntary support on these mailing lists would be likely to give you much help with such an old version. I'm not familiar with DADMS requirements for vendor support statements, but a very quick search implies they may only apply to commercial off-the-shelf software. Depending on the precise definitions you're using, I would expect Cygwin to not count as commercial, which may allow you to continue to use Cygwin without a vendor support statement. If that's not the case (and assuming none of the project maintainers step up to say they're willing to provide such a vendor support statement), I suspect Cygwin will not meet the requirements for you to be able to continue using it.
