Cygwin is basically GPL-based. How, exactly, would something like that satisfy the terms of the GPL? That would certainly limit your freedom to use the software. The main thrust of the non-Red Hat release of Cygwin is to make sure that anyone who has the binaries can also get the source code. That shouldn't be as big a deal within a company as it is for a company which attempts to sell Cygwin or Cygwin-based applications. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
