Some time ago, I built a package that links in this DLL that somebody found useful, and now actually wants to pay me for. Having to put food on the table, I'd like to oblige them. Rather than upgrading to the latest-and-greatest, and all the work involved in changing APIs, etc., I just want to ship the one that I've got, seeing as it works perfectly well. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but if I'm going to make a few dollars off of a non-free something that links in an open source library, I need to provide the source for the open-source parts with the product, or fall afoul of the LGPL. So, to make everybody happy, I believe that all I need to add, is to provide the source for cygwin1.dll to the Customer. Quite some time ago, I lost my most of my older cygwin stuff when I had a disk crash and a bad backup, and I guess I'm going to need to replace some of it. However, the source tree for this old stuff is no longer available in the RedHat CVS repository or the many mirrors that I've checked. Any idea where I can get it now? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
