IANAL, but... can this be right? If I write an application for UNIX/linux and make it available under some other license than GPL, and someone else ports it to CygWin, I don't see how this would automatically make my application be GPL'd? An in any case, this would only apply to the JDK in this case. A Java application running inside the JDK shouldn't be affected in any way. Ah well. Off-topic I guess. And it isn't even Friday anymore.
