There are bunch of "confused" BOD (board of directors)
at XFree86 Organizattion.  I raise that argument
that Linux and QNX is supported by XFree86 and it has
GPL
so what makes Cygwin difference.  I gave up on them. I
do not have time on beating my head on someone who 
is willing to understand.
Please argue with XFree86 Organization, not me.  I had
argued enough over there.
 My GPL is interim, note the words "If and Until"..
That is they realize and understand I will be willing
to remove GPL restrictions, if they do not, then I
will continue a parallel project under GPL.
