Hey !! You have not read correctly...
As I said right at the start of the post, I AM concerned about the licensing
implications, but I could not succeed in posting my questions to the
licensing mail list... which are basically : does using cygwin just to
compile some static .a to be used elsewhere prompts a fee ?
As for the technical part, I read the FAQ's and I could not find an answer
about the sockets ...
I am new to the Windows world (I just did 2 years VB and Delphi more than 10
years ago) but I am not a newbie (23+ years in scientific programming)... So
please be correct and do ot insult me...
I do not know whether it is the good mailing list to post, but it was the
closest to my kind of questions....
