The US Government has many regulations. One of them is that the software used must be accessible. It is not about the Cygwin.com website. I have helped a few open source projects by writing a VPAT for them (https://www.section508.gov/sell/vpat). > Volunteers may respond to feedback, but have little time for niceties, and no > time for bureaucracy. Well, that’s why there are more than one type of volunteer. I personally believe it is better to use Cygwin over other closed source or fragmented tool set alternatives. -Jason -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
