Please just update the FAQ to point to http://cygwin.com/license.html .
There is no need to keep this information in two places.
I think that this is a good rule to follow, in general. The FAQ
shouldn't be summarizing or paraphrasing information that is available
elsewhere; it should be just pointing to the information. IIRC, the FAQ
also has advice on how to post to the cygwin mailing lists which is
covered by http://cygwin.com/lists.html and
http://cygwin.com/problems.html .
