Unless you purchase the proprietary-use license (info AT cygnus DOT com for
details and pricing) there is no difference between the net release
license and the CD-ROM license.

The recent exception we added, which applies equally to net releases
and the CD-ROM, is that if a project is distributed using an
open-source-compliant license anyway, then that part of cygwin that is
statically linked into your program may be distributed under those
terms instead of the GPL.  The DLL itself must always be distributed
under the GPL.  The current terms never allow a source-less
distribution, although the open source definition is more flexible
about where the source comes from than the GPL.
