Cygwin received contributions from several authors. To leave a GNU licence,
you need to get the agreement of all authors, which is not possible for a big
project like Cygwin.
Alternatively, you could pick-up the old static version of Cygwin and release
it as a minimal Cygwin dll. This idea is probably ***stupid***.
Another possible solution is http://debian-cygwin.sourceforge.net/ project,
which tries to port dpkg to Windows. If it was possible to release Cygwin
using dpkg, we could create a comprehensive Cygwin + PostgreSQL on-line
installer.
Why look for complicated solutions when the only real issue for users is the
Cygwin installer?
