Thread: About the Cygwin license
Dear PostgreSQL, sorry for the non-technical question here but Cygwin's copyright is too complicated at least for me. I would like to know if I can use PostgreSQL DB server as a backend in a commercial application package running on Windows with Cygwin for PG? I assume YES since our application won't link with Cygwin directly. Please confirm. Many thanks! Laszlo Keresztfalvi
Laszlo, Note that IANAL...

Yes, all that you need to do to comply with the license is to provide the source to the Cygwin DLL and all of the apps that link with it. Jason
