If you are interested in just writing programs to use internally or for personal use, probably no problems. But if you want to resell your app, I'm not sure how the Cygwin license applies to your code. Maybe it doesn't affect your code, but the ruby interpreter that you would have to ship depends on the Cygwin DLL. And to redistribute that, you have to make your source code available (the way I read the license). Now is that the source code of the interpreter or your programs running in the interpreter? It was gray enough to make me steer clear of it. -- Justin Rudd http://seagecko.org/thoughts/
