Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I'm happy to announce that, effective immediately, Red Hat has relicensed Cygwin from "GNU Public License version 2" (GPLv2) to "GNU Public License version 3 or later" (GPLv3+). The Open Source Licensing Exception persists, as well as the availability of the Cygwin Alternative License, as described on http://cygwin.com/licensing.html This shouldn't affect a lot of you, but if you're concerned that this change in the Cygwin license might affect you and your projects, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/ in the first place. You can also ask questions on the cygwin or cygwin-licensing mailing list, but be aware that we can't give valid legal advice. It's always better to ask a lawyer who's specialized in licensing questions. Have fun, Corinna *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
