I'm really wondering what you're up to. Michel's choice of words might be a bit unlucky, but it's a fact that his application will become GPL (or another compatible OSS license of choice), if he links it to the Cygwin/X client libs. This is obviously not a result of the X libs being GPLed, but a result of the fact that the Cygwin/X libs in turn require to link against the cygwin1.dll, or in other words, linking against Cygwin/X client libs will make the application a Cygwin application. So the question is still valid and was from the beginning, minus choice of words. However, this question is obviously off-topic for this list since this is the Cygwin/X list, not a native Win32 X list. So please move your question to another, more appropriate forum, Michel.
