IANAL, either but if there is no way to get the sources for any
binaries in this tar file then this probably needs to be rectified
to conform to the GPL.  Pointing to the cygwin web site is not
adequate.  You need to provide the exact sources for the binaries
that are being distributed.

I haven't checked, so this is already the case, you can just
ignore me.
