Red Hat, Inc. licenses Cygwin to you under the terms of the GNU
|
|
General Public License version 2 (GPLv2), as published by the Free
|
|
Software Foundation, along with the additional permissions given
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
There is NO WARRANTY for this software, express or implied, including
|
|
the implied warranties of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
|
|
PURPOSE.
|
|
|
|
You should have received a copy of GPLv2 along with this program; if
|
|
not, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt .
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additional Permissions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Linking Exception.
|
|
|
|
As a special exception to GPLv2, 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 GPLv2.
|
|
|
|
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 DLL you must adhere to the terms of GPLv2, including the
|
|
requirement to provide sources for the Cygwin DLL.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
GPLv2, 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 GPLv2, and to
|
|
distribute such combinations under terms of your choice, provided that
|
|
such terms are otherwise consistent with the application of GPLv2 to
|
|
Cygwin itself. You must comply with GPLv2 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. For more
