Unfortunately there are some preliminaries before I can take a closer

providing more than just trivial patches to Cygwin, see

Fill outhttps://cygwin.com/assign.txt and send it to the address given
in the pamphlet. If you're writing code for Cygwin only in your spare
time, forget the part about your employer.
I'm hoping that this won't be a problem. I'm more than happy to assign my
own copyright to Red Hat. My employer has no claim to work I do in my own
time on my own equipment. However, Cygwin might be a grey area, as we use
Cygwin extensively in our development work. So I've already asked my
employer to sign the copyright and patent waiver. Assuming this is signed,
I'll send both parts together.
So let's proceed assuming that this is going to happen.
