Since Cygwin is open source, there is nothing stopping anyone from
taking the current source  for themseleves and doing what they will
(as long as they give back <large grin>). It is possible that someone
who cared about having a Win9x Cygwin port would take up the
maintainance (not unlike the folks who continue to maintain the Linux
2.2 Kernel).

This is the joy of open source you can have your cake and eat it too.
