See the +COPYING file for the exact wording of that license. + +Parts of the sources in any subdirectory are licensed using a BSD-like +license. The affected source files contain explicit copyright notices +to that effect. + +Linking Exception: + + As a special exception, the copyright holders of the Cygwin library + grant you additional permission to link libcygwin.a, crt0.o, and + gcrt0.o with independent modules to produce an executable, and to + convey the resulting executable under terms of your choice, without + any need to comply with the conditions of LGPLv3 section 4. An + independent module is a module which is not itself based on the + Cygwin library. -There is NO WARRANTY for this software, express or implied, including -the implied warranties of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR -PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. - -You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along -with this program. If not, see <http://gnu.org/licenses/>. - - -Additional Permissions: - - -1. Linking Exception. - -As a special exception to GPLv3+, Red Hat grants you permission to link -software whose sources are distributed under a license that satisfies -the Open Source Definition with libcygwin.a, without libcygwin.a -itself causing the resulting program to be covered by GPLv3+. - -This means that you can port an Open Source 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 Cygwin DLL, you must adhere to the terms of GPLv3+, including the -requirement to provide sources for the Cygwin DLL, unless you have obtained -a special Cygwin license to distribute the Cygwin DLL in only its binary -form (see below). - -See http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd/ for the precise Open Source -Definition referenced above. - - -2. Files Excluded from GPL Coverage. - -Red Hat grants you permission to distribute Cygwin with the following -files, which are not considered part of Cygwin and are not governed by -GPLv3+, in source or binary form. - -winsup\testsuite\winsup.api\msgtest.c -winsup\testsuite\winsup.api\semtest.c -winsup\testsuite\winsup.api\shmtest.c - -Red Hat grants you permission to link or combine code in Cygwin with -code in or corresponding to the following files, which are not -considered part of Cygwin and are not governed by GPLv3+, and to -distribute such combinations under terms of your choice, provided that -such terms are otherwise consistent with the application of GPLv3+ to -Cygwin itself. You must comply with GPLv3+ with respect to all -portions of such combinations other than those that correspond to or -are derived from such non-Cygwin code but which do not correspond to -or are not derived from Cygwin itself. - -winsup\cygserver\sysv_shm.cc - - -3. Alternative License. - -Red Hat sells a special Cygwin License for customers who are unable to -provide their application in open source code form.
