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.
