Thanks for this generous offer. There's no way to buy the commercial version since it's downloadable for free just like the net distro. You can purchase a buyout license, user support, or developer support, see http://www.redhat.com/services/custom/cygwin/. So far there's no commercial version derived from 1.7. The intention is to wait a couple of weeks until the dust settled around the 1.7 release and then move over at one point in the first quarter of 2010. Having said that, a small user support contract would certainly help development since that's basically how my job is paid. If your company is really interested to do that, please feel free to contact our team via the web form at http://www.redhat.com/services/custom/contact.html Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
