previous mailing list discussions on this topic state that if they
distribute the cygwin1.dll, they have to distribute the source code for that
particular version.
So either way its a violation. (ie linking isnt good enough, according to
previous discussions) - I am still in digital unix at uni so i have no idea
if it compiles with current cygwin, anyway.
But, it was a headsup, not a 'i am deeply concerned about this' or I would
of emailed the person responsible for the web site in the first place. If i
was one of the cygwin developers, maybe i would feel differently, but as a
user headsup is enough from me.
