The key problem with Cygwin isn't cygwin1.dll, actually. A small bit of the Cygwin library gets linked statically into every Cygwin application, and that code is GPL. At least, it was last time I checked. However, Cygwin has an exception for distributing binaries of open-source programs anyway:
http://cygwin.com/licensing.html DJGPP's runtime has some exceptions for DJGPP-built apps to avoid that issue too. Note that the "major components (compiler" text is in there because of DJGPP :-) > I would have to archive the source for the cygwin.dll if that ended > up in the distributable binary? Yes. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
