Almost certainly yes. > If it does, the GPL (whichever version) requires distributing that source code > as well. https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-26.0.90-deps-mingw-w64-src.zip.sig Which is the source for the dependency packages from msys. This was the reason I distributed Emacs and its dependencies separately for Emacs-25. I didn't work out how to get the source for the dependencies till after the Emacs-25 cycle had started, so could not distribute the dependencies in the first instance.
