c5e7ccac | 18 | In accordance with section 10 of the GPL, Red Hat permits programs whose |
1fd5e000 CF |
19 | sources are distributed under a license that complies with the Open |
20 | Source definition to be linked with libcygwin.a without libcygwin.a | |
21 | itself causing the resulting program to be covered by the GNU GPL. | |
22 | ||
23 | This means that you can port an Open Source(tm) application to cygwin, | |
24 | and distribute that executable as if it didn't include a copy of | |
25 | libcygwin.a linked into it. Note that this does not apply to the cygwin | |
26 | DLL itself. If you distribute a (possibly modified) version of the DLL | |
d52265ff | 27 | you must adhere to the terms of the GPL, i.e. you must provide sources |
1fd5e000 CF |
28 | for the cygwin DLL. |
