Hello Max, This is a good point. I have the source downloaded and in backups somewhere around here - so it can be located if needed. While I'm in the process of putting together a new archive that contains more GPL disclaimers (and more utilities), I wish to be in compliance by offering a CDROM for those that desire it.

If you don't package up the specific source *now* how will you know and obtain the source when you do receive a request? There is no guarantee that the exact version you are distributing will still be on the Cygwin mirrors.
