Cygwin provides cross-tools like djgpp-gcc-core mingw64-i686-gcc-core, 
mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core, cygwin32-gcc-core, cygwin64-gcc-core, and 
djgpp-binutils, mingw64-i686-binutils, mingw64-x86_64-binutils, 
cygwin32-binutils, cygwin64-binutils so anyone has the freedom to choose to 
build DOS, Windows, or Cygwin apps targeting their respective APIs, under 
Cygwin, and also have the freedom to give away or sell those apps as long as 
they respect their licences.

Cygwin's goal is to have everyone and everything believe it is running in a 
POSIX environment and provide interoperability within a Windows environment 
(including Wine) based on POSIX standards, system interfaces, toolchains, 
shells, utilities:

	https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

system and network servers and services, plus GUI desktops (GNOME, KDE, LXDE, 
MATE, Plasma, Xfce desktops on X Window System), and apps (task and file 
managers, web browsers, PDF viewers and editors, graphics viewers and editors 
including GIMP). This is all ported and supported by volunteers who believe 
everyone should have a choice, even when for business or family reasons they use 
Windows.
