Yes, it already is GPLed and the source will be included. However, most users do not want to compile things for themselves (at least in this instance). > I'm not sure he is and the user rights come first per the GPL. > Not only that the application has to be put under an OSS > license, it's also required to distribute the Cygwin DLL > with sources, accoding to the GPL Section 3) As I said in my original e-mail, I'm not planning to distribute cygwin1.dll. This would be installed by Cygwin's setup.exe. My query is regarding other DLLs (which I have already said I would include the source for, if I included the binary).
