Does anyone know if there is source code available for the binary

I've sent a message requesting that they provide source code for their
programs but it seems like this is YA case of someone assuming that they
get to use cygwin without paying attention to the cygwin license?


Ah. I see the sources will be available "shortly".

I'm looking for the word "shortly" in the GPL now.  Hmm.  Can't seem to
find it...

And if you look their "Rateless Public License", it violates licence of GPL that permits modifiction, selling etc. as far as sources are provided for further modifications.
