Something under the thread "RE: Debug of Test 15 (cgf input needed" A comment from there, bottom of original by "Christopher Faylor" http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg00221.html [...] DJ and I came up with additional wording that I thought would satisfy anyone except someone who didn't want to provide the sources. I got clearance from Cygnus's CEO to allow the greater flexibility. I thought I was doing the community a favor by relaxing the Cygwin license Hey isn't there other non-GPL packages being distributed.. Hmm I have seen references to openssh.. /Andy / Jason Tishler wrote: | DJ, | | I need your deep understanding of the GPL.
