Incidentally, while perusing the GPL FAQ, I stumbled upon
<http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MoneyGuzzlerInc>. There seem to be
several cases of Cygwin packages that may do something similar (in fact,
Cygwin itself technically does that :-D). Are there implications?
Should Cygwin have a clause in the licensing explicitly allowing some
particular instances of this, just to make sure things work smoothly?
Igor
P.S. Any lawyers reading this list? ;-)
