No, I know. My point was that this question seems to come up rather frequently,
and the answer is more or less always "Here's the licensing terms<link>, and
here's what it basically means: <several paragraph explanation>". Replacing
<several paragraph explanation> with <link> seems like a win for everyone.

Well, I see that there already is a FAQ entry on this:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_8.html#SEC135
But I'd say your explanation is as I said more concise and clear. But whatever.
