Thanks a lot Corinna.
This means I'm allowed to distribute cygwin dll as long as I distribute
it with sources, as I understand.
Let's say I'm writing a commercial program that uses GNU zip under
windows (and therefore must be distributed with cygwin dll), am I
allowed to do this as long as I include cygwin and zip sources?

Thanks again,
Giulio
