Re: Cygnus Cygwin32 Press Release 1/21/97


 
   From: Joe Marzot <gmarzot@BayNetworks.COM>

   [...] it shouldn't hurt to put cygwin.dll under the LGPL as well as still
   selling commercial licenses. Then everybody is happy.

I've heard that in practice, the LGPL has not worked out well for
commercial users.  Although it's a big difference to us engineers, as
far as lawyers are concerned, there is little difference between being
required to ship .o files and .c files on demand, and so they just nix
the deal entirely.

   ps. what are the terms for the license? 

Still being worked on.  I bug the responsible folks regularly...
