No, *all* cygwin1.dll's must include source, unless they've purchased
a proprietary-use license (but then they wouldn't be distributing the
dll on the web, eh?).

The cygwin exception allows them to distribute *their* binaries
without the sources for the libcygwin.a portions, if their binaries
are distributed under an "open source" license.  This exception
doesn't cover cygwin1.dll though.
