Hmm, I'd have thought they'd come downstream like so much else. Since 
all this stuff is open source,  I wouldn't think that there should be 
any plagiarizing issues, right?  I see,  however, that the referenced 
web page is copyrighted.  So, I wonder who is responsible if a volun-
teer plagiarizes another source for Cygwin.   I'm thinking some rules 
ought to be promulgated before volunteers are solicited.
