No, it does not apply to software built with EGCS-1.1-Mingw. Cygwin and 
Mingw are completely independent as far as copyrights and licensing issues 
are concerned.

Mingw itself (runtime and the include files etc) explicitly not
copyrighted (by Colin Peters or by anybody else). The egcs-1.1 components 
have various different copyrights/licenses, and it's the same as on any 
Unix system.

You can do anything you want with Mingw/egcs built software. As for
software built with Cygwin EGCS, you can always SELL the software as 
long as you comply with the license that comes with Cygwin.
