Your problem. Read http://cygwin.com/licensing.html again:
"In accordance with section 10 of the GPL, Red Hat permits programs
whose sources are distributed under a license that complies with the
Open Source definition to be linked with libcygwin.a without
libcygwin.a itself causing the resulting program to be covered by
the GNU GPL."
