Who Jani works for is not a topic for this mailing list. He certainly
does not speak authoritatively for the project.

No, this is not true, and it is also not a subject for discussion, here.
As far as Cygwin is concerned, let me make this easy for you.
If you are just putzing around, compiling cygwin sources and adding your
own little hacks, you don't have to worry about anything. If you
provide binary copies of cygwin programs, you must accompany them with
complete sources.
Changes that are desired to go back to the main cygwin release require
that you follow the instructions at http://cygwin.com/contrib.html. You
need to fill out an assignment signed by both you and your employer.
If none of this is clear (and it's a mystery how it could not be clear
by now) then, when you get ready to release some software ask again.
I'm closing down this thread now.
