Hi folks,

I'm pleased to announce that the today's upcoming release of the Cygwin
library (version 2.5.2) introduces a license change.  From 2.5.2
onwards, the Cygwin DLL is now available under the GNU LGPL v3, rather
than the former GPLv3.

The official Red Hat announcement:
https://www.redhat.com/en/about/blog/cygwin-library-now-available-under-gnu=
-lesser-general-public-license

This change not only allows us to drop the buyout license, it also
allows us to drop the requirement for contributor's to sign a copyright
assignment.

I'll follow up later today with a description of the new procedure for
contributions (easy!, but now I have to look for releaseing 2.5.2 first.
Stay tuned.


Peace,
Corinna
