Since the issue has come up several times on the list, I figured it'd be
a good idea to post this info here. However, please do not reply to the
list.
Karl M. Syring has developed several native (non-cygwin) ports of common
GNU utilities, and has distributed them from
http://www.weihenstephan.de/~syring/win32/UnxUtils.html
However, he has not posted the source code to those utilities, and both
Earnie and I have recommended *against* using his ports until he
complies with the GPL, since many of the original sources of those
utilities are distributed under that license. (If you wanted to use
GNU-ish tools without cygwin...but why? :-)
I corresponded with Karl last week, and he is in the process of getting
the source code in a state that is releaseable. He has also just
established a SourceForge project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/
The sourceforge project does not yet contain any files (i.e. no source
yet) but he's getting there.
