I'm a broken record on the subject but I can't let the word "product"
go by without pointing out that if your product uses Cygwin it is then
GPLed.  That's how the GPL license that Cygwin uses works.

You must make source code available to anyone who receives your product.
That includes the product itself, cygwin1.dll, ssh, and any other dlls.
Hopefully you already know this but I thought I'd mention it just in
case.
