> What are the licensing requirements or charges for Cygwin/PostgreSQL?
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You are asking for legal advice, please consider if you'd better ask a
lawyer.

Read http://cygwin.com/licensing.html. Read http://cygwin.com/COPYING.

Depending on what you use and how you use it, you might be required to make
the source of your application freely available.

Red Hat sells a special Cygwin License for customers who are unable to
provide their application in open source code form. For more information,
please see: http://www.redhat.com/software/tools/cygwin/, or call
866-2REDHAT ext. 3007.

kind regards (and I'm not a lawyer ;))

Richard,

all programs that you mention (MySQL, Cygwin, PostgreSQL) are released
under free licenses. You do not have to pay per-seat charges for any
of these as long as you do not buy professional support.

regards,
Markus
