As long as you adhere to the license, feel free. But it doesn't make sense to me. A Unix service in the usual sense would be a subsystem on top of the NT kernel, in parallel to the Windows subsystem. Kind of like the old POSIX subsystem or WSL. Cygwin is merely a user space DLL and a distro of POSIX tools running in the Windows subsystem. If you want to use it on Reactos, just install it. And don't forget that this isn't a no-brainer. Somebody would have to maintain the fork. The DLL alone won't be enough, so you'd have to prepare not only Cygwin, but an entire, albeit smaller Reactos distro.
