Yes, the Cygnus license as currently written would not pass our freee
software guidelines.
I think the best way to deal with this is to have some group of
volunteers continue to develop a source thread based on your beta 17.1 .
They can have the LGPL license and the burden of maintaining the software,
while Cygnus can go ahead with its later version and its special license.
We already have two current Debian developers who are interested in the
task, and I sent a message to gnu-win32@cygnus.com seeking additional
volunteers.
