http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC94 In short: if you want to use Cygwin's posix emulation layer then you will be linking to cygwin1.dll and your program will be GPL[1]. There's no way to statically compile an app that still uses the emulation layer but doesn't depend on the DLL. You can compile a mingw app of course with the -mno-cygwin switch, but the amount of unix-like functionalty that's supported is very much a subset of what you get with Cygwin. If this is what you want then you need to ask your question on the mingw list.
