Not sure yet, still looking into the code.

No, that's not how it should be licensed since that implies GPL3+.
We're moving the file into newlib so we should loosen the copyright
so that the code is usable for non-GPLed code.  And as the sole
copyright holder, Red Hat can move the file to another copyright.

So what you can do here is to remove the entire Cygwin header from
the file and just keep a BSD-3-Clause SPDX header.

Will check.
