I want to use cygwin with a proprietary system. 

As I do not want to publish my source code, I know I need a "breakout"
license from RedHat.

I am not changing cygwin, I am simply using the cygwin.dll to get a Unix 
based system to run under Windows.

Has anyone purchased a breakout license?

I was told today that the cost was $50,000.00 USD for a 3 year license.

Does that sound right?

It seems unbelievably high to me, considering that MKS has a very similar
product at only $5,000.00 (which includes 50 run time
Licenses)

Any advice would be appreciated.
