- Subject: Question concerning bundling cygwin with another application
Dear Sir or Madam,
i'm currently developing a non-commerical software under GPL for my
modell railroad. It uses SRCP as a client, a protocoll for controlling
model railroads. The only SRCP-Server available is the SRCPD which is
written for Linux/Unix/Cygwin. Now i want to bundle the compiled SRCPD
(non-commerical open source, can be found under www.sf.net) with the
cygwin-dlls and the bash.exe to run it. Here are the needed dlls/exes:
* cygintl-8.dll
* cygioperm-0.dll
* cygreadline6.dll
* cygwin1.dll
* cygxml2-2.dll
* cygz.dll
* bash.exe
Now my questions:
* Is it possible to bundle these dlls, since both projects are under
GPL and non-commercial ? What do i have to do (f.e. Should i
mention cygwin somewhere ....) ?
* Which apps / dlls etc are not meant to be used that way (to be
bundled with GPL-SW, f.e.) ?
Thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Nils Brönner
