GPL alert ? http://thinstall.com/unix_tools/

[Brian.Kelly@Empireblue.com]

Not only that, but this appears to go even further. By essentially
"compiling" all these GNU utilities into
one executable, there's a violation of the GPL to the extent that the code
used to do that does not
appear to be "Open Source". Double Whammy here.

And by the way - I AM a lawyer. (Member of the Michigan Bar Association in
Good Standing).

http://thinstall.com/unix_tools/ seems to have cygwin binaries w/out
source.
