Actually, we're not making any changes to either OpenLDAP or Cygwin. We just
want to link the two into the same executable. As far as i can tell from
some amateur legal research, because the OpenLDAP license is not
GPL-compatible, it would not be legal to do this without your special
clause.

So i just wanted to make sure that using OpenLDAP in this way qualifies for
the clause.
