The X library source is not GPL. Likewise ncurses. Stating that it is "effectively" GPL is at best misleading, since it is possible for someone to take the same source to a different place and use it without cygwin.
The word "effectively" might be misleading to you but it's correct from the standpoint of the *user* of any of these libraries.
Since it would be just as easy to be accurate, I'll tend to treat ambiguous and (sometimes intentionally) misleading remarks as what they are: a nuisance.
