If not, they aren't in compliance with the GPL. > 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.
