I'm quite out of sync/behind with mail, and had only seen this stuff on the sge-discuss list.

Thanks for the information, and I don't know where I got the idea it wouldn't work. However, I was obviously asleep answering before. The fundamental problem with licences is that Cygwin is under the GPL, so you can't link SISSL code against it (and distribute) without some sort of exception to the licence -- i.e. paying Red Hat?. I'm not sure even about distributing build changes for people to link it themselves. Presumably that would be finessed by an autotools build that didn't do anything Cygwin-specific. [I know the Cygwin licence is often ignored, and that there's no problem of principle from linking two pieces of free software, but...] _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
