Igor - Are those IBM or NYU Lawyers?? I actually now work for IBM Global
Services myself. Even though IBM advertises themselves these days as *open
source friendly* - so to speak, your la-la land reference certainly raises
suspicions - and concerns. (I know this off topic - just wunder'in is all).

FTR, I had nothing to do with fixing this problem.  My new copyright
assignment is still in the lawyers' la-la land, so I didn't contribute any
Cygwin library code lately.  I'd say Pierre and maybe Thomas (Pfaff)
deserve some credit here, in addition, of course, to CGF and Corinna.
