Downey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 12:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cygwin and XEphem Hello Chris, I am still interested in using Cygwin to build the Windows edition of my Astro program, XEphem. When I last approached Cygnus three years ago they said this would cost me a one-time buy-out fee of $100,000 because XEphem is not GPL. Nuts to that. But now I see that the Red Hat language is not so strict. All it says now is: "The GPL requires the source to any application built with the Cygwin libraries must be distributed with the application." Now this I can live with. I have always made the source to XEphem available for download at no charge. Does this mean I can finally use Cygwin without buying the outlandish buy-out license?? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
