3PP source code question (IANAL)

- Subject: 3PP source code question (IANAL)
Are 3PPs that bundle an old version of cygwin1.dll required in any way
to provide the source code of their app so that I can recompile it
with a modern version of cygwin1.dll?
I have used Foundstone's (now part of McAfee) free tools (found here
http://www.foundstone.com/resources/freetools.htm) for some time and a
few of them use the cygwin dll (Pasco, Galleta, Rifiuti).
However, only Pasco
(http://www.foundstone.com/resources/proddesc/pasco.htm) includes the
source code.
They are all bundled with this cygwin1.dll:

The dll is over three years old!
Should I even bother trying to get the source code out of them?
Thanks.
