Yes if you mean "sources to your application", no if you mean "sources
to the shared library".  If your app uses a shared library which you
do not distribute, no sources.  If your app uses a shared library
which you *do* distribute, you need to include sources for the shared
library.  If your app statically links that library, you must include
sources *or* objects for your app, *and* sources for the library.

In the case of glibc, linking with it as a shared library does *not*
include glibc in your program.  That is not the case with cygwin,
because part of cygwin *is* linked in with all programs, even though
cygwin1.dll is effectively a shared library for the LGPL.
