Who can made a >decision ? Please look at the Contributing link at http://cygwin.com/ . If you can't fill out an assignment form, the work cannot be integrated with Cygwin. It's that simple. It's not my decision but I have to enforce it. I have my famous "mixed feelings" about including the cygipc package as a downloadable option for cygwin. If people are accustomed to thinking that it is part of cygwin, I think that the incentive for writing our own daemon is going to be much less. And, we really do need our own daemon for doing a lot of things. So, my feeling is that cygipc should not be included by default. However, I am willing to be swayed in this decision if the other developers think that it really would be a good idea to include it. To be clear -- we can't release it as part of cygwin itself but we could release it as a separate package. cgf
