Hmm.  "commercial applications"? 

Aw, nevermind.  I don't have the strength to go through two painful
IANAL discussions in one week.  I'll just assume that this commercial
application is GPL compliant.

So, I have three responses to this:

1) cygwin does not call WNetRestoreConnection.

2) http://www.dependencywalker.com/faq.html

3) Manufacturers of commercial applications are welcome to purchase a support
   license from Red Hat.  I'm not particularly interested in providing free
   support for people who are making money from cygwin.
