If the students are using the software then you have to be able to provide them with sources. The duration of the software on the system is irrelevant. If you are actually taking the CD that you bought and installing it on systems that you do not own, then there may be other licensing issues as well. As I mentioned before, you should contact cygwin-info@cygnus.com for clarification. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
