The added restrictions against competitors conflict with the GPL's prohibition against adding further restrictions. Of course, Cygnus can still distribute GPL'ed applications, as they are not bound by their own license. And other people can use older versions of "cygwin.dll". Am I right? - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
