Hey !! You have not read correctly...

As I said right at the start of the post, I AM concerned about the licensing 
implications, but I could not succeed in posting my questions to the 
licensing mail list... which are basically : does using cygwin just to 
compile some static  .a  to be used elsewhere prompts a fee ?

As for the technical part, I read the FAQ's and I could not find an answer 
about the sockets ...

I am new to the Windows world (I just did 2 years VB and Delphi more than 10 
years ago) but I am not a newbie (23+ years in scientific programming)... So 
please be correct and do  ot insult me...

I do not know whether it is the good mailing list to post, but it was the 
closest to my kind of questions....
