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.
