Hi Guys,

I am considering purchasing the CD version of Cygwin, but I can't 
seem to find information the exactly what the runtime license for the 
1.0 product is. I only want this to build and potentially distribute 
Open Source projects, but the project is not GPL. Some is MPL'ed and 
some is X licensed.

So my question is, if I get the CD version 1.0 release, can I build 
projects with Cygwin and distribute the runtimes along with the exes 
and full source code, if the source is not under GPL? I read on this 
mailing list that this was the case with the new license, but I can't 
find information on this on red hat's web site (the FAQ seems to 
indicate you can only build GPL'ed code under the Cygwin license).

Regards,
