Not only that, but this appears to go even further. By essentially
"compiling" all these GNU utilities into

used to do that does not
appear to be "Open Source". Double Whammy here.

And by the way - I AM a lawyer. (Member of the Michigan Bar Association in

http://thinstall.com/unix_tools/ seems to have cygwin binaries w/out
source.
