IANAL, either but if there is no way to get the sources for any binaries in this tar file then this probably needs to be rectified to conform to the GPL. Pointing to the cygwin web site is not adequate. You need to provide the exact sources for the binaries that are being distributed. I haven't checked, so this is already the case, you can just ignore me.
