No, it depends. We had a discussion a few days ago about contributing qmail and it turns out that, even though it's open source, putting it into a distribution needs an explicit blessing from the copyright holder, mr. bernstein. So it depends on the very license of the product. As a maintainer it's your responsibility to make sure it's ok to put a package into the Cygwin distro. Sometimes (perhaps for qmail) it's not worth the trouble.
