Do the points made here also apply to commercial but open-source use of
Cygwin?

For extra context, I have an application with bundles parts of Cygwin
and libraries built against Cygwin. None of the source or binaries is
modified.

I know I at least have to state which packages are included in the
bundle and provide links to the source for those, but I am not sure if
it is required that I eg provide a downloadable compressed folder with
complete source for everything.

Can anyone give me some advice? The work everyone does for Cygwin is
valuable and I certainly don't intend to claim any of it is mine.

Hamish
