You shouldn't have to wonder if you read my response rather than
cut/paste from a boilerplate response regarding the cygwin dll.

The X library source is not GPL.  Likewise ncurses.
Stating that it is "effectively" GPL is at best misleading,
since it is possible for someone to take the same source
to a different place and use it without cygwin.

Misleading comments like that are why I put the discussion of licensing
in the ncurses faq (and are likely the reason why cygwin has similar
discussion on a webpage).
