Re: Proper distribution of cygwin-dependent software.


Urgh, sorry, that's not quite right.  When you only point to the mirror,
you have the problem that the software you're using on the CD might
not be available on the mirror anymore, since the maintainer(s) moved
on and erased old versions.  In that case you're violating the GPL
again.  So you will have to make sure that the sources of the versions
used on CD are available regardless of the state of the mirror.

I will put all the sources on the CD. The install programs will be updated on a regular basis, so that they should never be out of sync with the mirrors to much.
