The version of Cygwin supported at cygwin.com is a GPL-based free
software project.  Red Hat owns the code.

Corinna works for Red Hat and can represent Red Hat's interests in
the project but Red Hat does not run the project.  They have their
own release of Cygwin which is separate from the net release and
which, in many cases, is not released under the GPL.

Besides Corinna, AFAIK, there is one other active person on this project
who works for Red Hat.  Their Red Hat job does not involve working on
Cygwin.

sourceware.org, cygwin.com's home, is a system which was generously
donated by Red Hat.  It is maintained by three people, one of whom works
at Red Hat.  Like me, he maintains the site in his free time.
