+			*** NOTE ***
+
+In accordance with section 10 of the GPL, Cygnus permits programs whose
+sources are distributed under a license that complies with the Open
+Source definition to be linked with libcygwin.a without libcygwin.a
+itself causing the resulting program to be covered by the GNU GPL.
+
+This means that you can port an Open Source(tm) application to cygwin,
+and distribute that executable as if it didn't include a copy of
+libcygwin.a linked into it.  Note that this does not apply to the cygwin
+DLL itself.  If you distribute a (possibly modified) version of the DLL
+you must adhere to the terms of the GPL, i.e., you must provide sources
+for the cygwin DLL.
+
+See http://www.opensource.org/osd.html for the precise Open Source
+Definition referenced above.
+
+If you have questions about any of the above or would like to arrange
+for other licensing terms, please contact Cygnus using the information
