+ *** NOTE ***
+
+In accordance with section 10 of the GPL, Red Hat permits programs whose
+sources are distributed under a license that complies with the Open
+Source definition to be linked with libcygwin.a without libcygwin.a
+itself causing the resulting program to be covered by the GNU GPL.
+
+This means that you can port an Open Source(tm) application to cygwin,
+and distribute that executable as if it didn't include a copy of
+libcygwin.a linked into it. Note that this does not apply to the cygwin
+DLL itself. If you distribute a (possibly modified) version of the DLL
+you must adhere to the terms of the GPL, i.e., you must provide sources
+for the cygwin DLL.
+
+See http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition_plain.html for the precise
+Open Source Definition referenced above.
+
+Red Hat sells a special Cygwin License for customers who are unable to
+provide their application in open source code form. For more
+information, please see: http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/,
