Re: Licensing fee for Cygwin 1.3.X

I am using my own custom DOS batch scripts to facilitate the launching

Could the Unix text commands (e.g. grep, more, tail, etc) in Cygwin
1.3.x be used without incurring additional licensing fees? If a
licensing fee is required under version 1.3.x, is it also required in
a "pre-commercial" release of Cygwin (e.g. B19, B20.1)?
You'd be surprised by what you can do in the Windows shell nowadays. I
know I was though I still prefer the Unix environment. I suggest you
give thought to perhaps just using cmd and avoiding all the licensing
issues. See
