Dan,
The following is to help keep the archives accurate and should not be
construed as an argument against the native Win32 port.

The above is not necessarily true:
Red Hat sells a special Cygwin License for customers who are unable
to provide their application in open source code form.
Note that the above only comes into play if your application links
with the Cygwin DLL. This is easily avoidable by using JDBC, ODBC,
Win32 libpq, etc. Hence, most people will not be required to purchase
this license from Red Hat.
