Because that is how the GPL works.  If you provide binaries, you
provide sources.  This is basic stuff that you should know if you
are planning a forked Cygwin release or any sort of distribution
of open source binaries.

You're taking our packages, doing something with them and making them
available on another site.  i.e., you're forking our release.

You're actually treading on thin ice here since you are trying to get
help for a release that is not the subject of this mailing list.  That
makes this whole discussion pretty much off-topic.

And that's another issue.  We definitely will not be providing support
for anyone who wanders in here looking for help with problems they
encounter with your packages.
