Hi, I'm Partha, managing the project that Sajad is involved in. Let me try to give you a clear picture of what we are doing. We have an application which we were planning to bundle along with cygwin and distribute to the client. We however do not modify any of the cygwin files or DLLs. Please let me know if we need to purchase any license for the same or this can be done at free of cost.
Best regards, Partha P.S: We do use third party software with BSD license( PostgreSQL ) which are compiled under cygwin environment. Please note that our application does not use cygwin environment or the utilities. But the application uses the PostgreSQL database which is compiled and executed under cygwin environment. Hence our application, cygwin and PostgreSQL need to be bundled together. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Faylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 3:26 AM To: Sajad Bashir Qadri Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; partha dhar; Dakshinamoorthy Venkataraman Subject: Re: cygwin License related Query....

If you are going to be providing the cygwin DLL or any of its utilities, you either need to release the sources for the DLL or you need to purchase a buyout license. cgf > Do we need a commercial cygwin license or 'proprietary-use license' >for such a use of cygwin?
