In accordance with section 10 of the GPL, Red Hat permits programs whose
|
2000-02-18 03:38:33 +08:00
|
|
|
sources are distributed under a license that complies with the Open
|
|
|
|
|
Source definition to be linked with libcygwin.a without libcygwin.a
|
|
|
|
|
itself causing the resulting program to be covered by the GNU GPL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that you can port an Open Source(tm) application to cygwin,
|
|
|
|
|
and distribute that executable as if it didn't include a copy of
|
|
|
|
|
libcygwin.a linked into it. Note that this does not apply to the cygwin
|
|
|
|
|
DLL itself. If you distribute a (possibly modified) version of the DLL
|
2002-05-13 03:29:20 +08:00
|
|
|
you must adhere to the terms of the GPL, i.e. you must provide sources
|
2000-02-18 03:38:33 +08:00
|
|
|
for the cygwin DLL.

Red Hat sells a special Cygwin License for customers who are unable to
|
|
|
|
|
provide their application in open source code form. For more
