Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I'm happy to announce that, effective immediately, Red Hat has
relicensed Cygwin from "GNU Public License version 2" (GPLv2) to
"GNU Public License version 3 or later" (GPLv3+).
The Open Source Licensing Exception persists, as well as the
availability of the Cygwin Alternative License, as described on
http://cygwin.com/licensing.html
This shouldn't affect a lot of you, but if you're concerned that this
change in the Cygwin license might affect you and your projects, see
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/ in the first place. You can also ask
questions on the cygwin or cygwin-licensing mailing list, but be aware
that we can't give valid legal advice. It's always better to ask
a lawyer who's specialized in licensing questions.
Have fun,
Corinna
