Another issue is the number of clients served by a windows host running cygwin. I remember that was an issue for O'Reilly for the web server they used to sell for Windows - non-server versions of Windows were only licensed to serve a few clients of any sort, and server versions of windows that could have any number of users came bundled with IIS, so O'Reilly was unable to sell to people who already had a bundled web server.
If somebody's running cygwin on a machine that's only licensed as a desktop version of windows, and they have a lot of clients for apache, postgresql, ssh or whatnot, they're likely in violation of the windows license. I couldn't say whether the cygwin developers could be held liable by microsoft for not enforcing the desktop client limit. Michael D.
