There is no propriety version of the Cygwin DLL.  The distinction (the
idea being about 15 years old) was only for the sake of being able to
identify the upstream from the supported version.  The supported version
will just get an own subversion and a marker, along the lines of
"2.0.5rh".

There are no Cygwin versions for which the source code isn't available,
While, technically, a third party can purchase a GPL buyout for their
own, proprietary product, the Cygwin sources are always freely available.
