Thanks for the pointers. I just looked in gnulib, and it shows argp as LGPL. I can import it using gnulib-tool --lgpl. I see that I could just import argp from gnulib into my program source, but my program is actually pretty simple and it seems silly to have its code dominated by argp. So I think I'd still rather package libargp separately, to simplify my code and make it easier for others who may want to use it. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
