Dear Cygwin Licensing Team,
What are the licensing terms for native Windows apps developed under Cygwin by compiling and linking with the -mno-cygwin flag? ÂThese apps do not use the Cygwin dll. ÂCan they be distributed as proprietary apps without purchasing the Redhat Cygwin license buy-out?
I have studied the GPL FAQ and the Cygwin Licensing Page and did not see a clear answer to this case.
Sincerely,
Steve Siano
