Oh, please don't.  This is a simple concept.  There is nothing complicated
here.

If you build your program using Cygwin's gcc then your program is GPLed
regardless of whether it is using X11 libraries.

If someone really can't get this concept then maybe they should retain legal
counsel to explain it to them.  They certainly don't want to make a mistake
with something like this.

However, Corinna is right as usual.  This whole discussion is off-topic
for this mailing list.  This is a mailing list for discussing cygwin/x.
It is not a mailing list for discussing how not to use cygwin/x.
