Here is the index.txt file from ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/cygwin/B20/cygwin-sources/ ***************** This directory contains the minimum cygwin sourcecode to comply with the GPL. Since executables with dll's are considered a single program, and since the cygwin dll is under the GPL, if I want to distribute compiled applications that use the cygwin dll, I am required to place my application under the GPL. In order to comply with this, not only do I have to provide the sources to my application, but also I must provide the sources for the cygwin dll that I used. Now, I don't really expect anyone to download this stuff - it's much easier to get the full sources for the entire cygwin *environment* directly from Cygnus ( http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin ) rather than just the sources for the cygwin dll and its immediate dependencies which I provide here. In addition, if you go to the Cygnus website, you can get a nicely packaged, precompiled version of the entire cygwin *environment*, which includes lots of nice extras. index.txt this file file_select.diff Sergey Okhapkin's patch(1) for coolview winsup dll mixed-case.diff Sergey Okhapkin's patch(2) for coolview winsup dll libiberty.tar.bz2 original cygwin sourcecode newlib.tar.bz2 original cygwin sourcecode toplevel.tar.bz2 original cygwin sourcecode winsup.tar.bz2 original cygwin sourcecode winsup-coolview.tar.bz2 winsup sources, modified using Sergey's patches ***************** Since I built the binaries on my ftp server using the coolview (post-20.1) dll, does this directory satisfy the requirements of the GPL wrt cygwin-based programs (provided I also supply the source for the specific programs, of course) ? --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
