If you distribute a Cygwin DLL binary, you must also provide the sources

Thanks a lot Corinna.
This means I'm allowed to distribute cygwin dll as long as I distribute
it with sources, as I understand.
Let's say I'm writing a commercial program that uses GNU zip under
windows (and therefore must be distributed with cygwin dll), am I
allowed to do this as long as I include cygwin and zip sources?
There's no such "GNU zip" thing. There's only a GNU gzip thing.
zip is infozip and has a much more liberal license than GPL.
And there exist native win32 versions for that.
The rest is correct, and it is very easy to provide just a link
to cygwin setup.exe.
