Are 3PPs that bundle an old version of cygwin1.dll required in any way to provide the source code of their app so that I can recompile it with a modern version of cygwin1.dll?
I have used Foundstone's (now part of McAfee) free tools (found here http://www.foundstone.com/resources/freetools.htm) for some time and a few of them use the cygwin dll (Pasco, Galleta, Rifiuti). However, only Pasco (http://www.foundstone.com/resources/proddesc/pasco.htm) includes the source code. They are all bundled with this cygwin1.dll: File: cygwin1.dll File Version: 1003.22.0.0 Product Version: 1003.22.0.0 OS: Unknown/Win32 Type: DLL Date: 0000000000000000 Language: English (United States) Comments: CompanyName: Red Hat FileDescription: Cygwin« POSIX Emulation DLL FileVersion: 1.3.22-dontuse-21 InternalName: cygwin1.dll Copyright: Copyright ⌐ Red Hat, Inc. 1996-2003 Trademarks: OriginalFilename: cygwin1.dll ProductName: Cygwin ProductVersion: 1.3.22-dontuse-21 PrivateBuild: SpecialBuild: File Attributes: archive Created : 2006/11/07 10:06:48 Accessed : 2006/11/07 10:14:43 Modified : 2003/04/07 08:04:36 Size: 971,080 bytes MD5 Checksum: c81a8dc899edafb570052caaf9661304 The dll is over three years old! Should I even bother trying to get the source code out of them? Thanks. -Jason -- + + + NO CARRIER
