Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2020 16:37:00 -0000 Message-ID: Subject: cygwin licensing question To: cygwin@cygwin.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" X-SW-Source: 2020-02/txt/msg00242.txt.bz2 Hi, I am Pierre Meignen, software developer working for a belgium company. I have a question regarding cygwin and its use. Is it allowed/legal to integrate cygwin installer (2.11.1(0.329/5/3)) into the installer of an application that we plan to distribute commercially? I have checked the past cygwin posts but I did not see any clear answer to my question. I know how to handle source code in LGPL but I have difficulty to understand what I can do with cygwin (LGPL) but which also contains tools covered by the GNU GPL and so on. We have customized cygwin installer in order to install locally the necessary packages. Once in its execution, our application launches cygwin.bat and launch commands to upload embedded systems. We do not link towards cygwin.dll. We currently use the application internally but we plan to distribute it commerically in the future. Thanks in advance for your support/feedback, BR, Pierre Meignen -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
