Realistically, probably an e-mail from somebody in the legal department (just not necessarily a signed document).

I thought "taking the high ground" by entirely dropping the copyright would maximize usefulness to everybody. gsw -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
