Selon le GNU General Public License, sous les dermes duquel Cygwin a été publié, tout distribution doit être accompagné d'un distribution des sources, ou bien une attestation écrite qu'ils seront fournis sur demande pendant un délai de trois ans. Je n'ai pas trouvé une telle attestation sur le CD, ni dans le magazin. J'aimerai donc savoir s'il sera possible, dans environ trois ans, de procurer les sources de la version de Cygwin que vous avez distribué après de vous. Bien cordialement, Ronald Landheer-Cieslak -- BEGIN english translation -- Paris, April 14th 2003 To: the redaction of "Login:" Dear Sir/Madam, With number 105 of your magazine, which I bought today, I found an almost complete Cygwin net distribution on the accompanying CD-ROM, but not the corresponding sources. According to the GNU General Public License, under the terms of which Cygwin was published, every distribution must be accompanied by either the sources or a written promise to provide the sources on demand, within three years of the publication. I have not found such a written promise in the magazine, nor on the CD-ROM Hence, I would like to know whether it will be possible, about three years from now, to get the sources of the Cygwin version you distributed from you.
