False.  If you provide cygwin1.dll you must provide its source. 
Period.  You can't say "it's free software, get it from cygwin.com". 
You must provide a copy yourself (the exact version corresponding to the
DLL you distribute), on your server (or in the same method that you
offer the binaries.)  You cannot rely on a third party to do this for
you.
