yeah, I guess I should have clarified. every journal has their own
specific requirements for citation /method/, so that will depend on
which publication I decide to submit my article. I was more interested
in the content, i.e. author, title, publisher, year, etc. as some
projects such as the Weka Machine Learning project ask folks to cite a
specific book that they have published.
thanks for the help,

since I used cygwin to implement my masters project (which I'm not
getting into publishable form), I'd like to check to see if there is
a preferred citation that the mainainers want used when citing
cygwin. Do you have one?
Our preferred citation is pretty much irrelevant. Use the same
citation method that your instructor/institution requires for any
other software (I could get a copy of the MLA citation method for
electronic media, but I don't have the time available right now to
hunt down my copy of the MLA manual).
For the author, cite the person(s) who wrote the code you're actually
citing, if available, or 'Red Hat, et. al.' if you're citing the
Cygwin project as a whole.
Publisher is Red Hat (use the full corporate name, as it's not
commonly recognized publisher. It should be written out in full in the
Cygwin website's copyright notice).
Also, as a note: submitting a masters project may still be considered
distribution. You may want to solicit advice from a legal athority,
if possible.
