We had this discussion on the xfree-list a while ago, it was cygwin
vs. the X-license (X-server/applications compiled with cygwin), I
didn't follow the discussion, but I think it settled with that it was
ok.. Something under the thread "RE: Debug of Test 15 (cgf input needed"
A comment from there, bottom of original by "Christopher Faylor"

DJ and I came up with additional wording that I thought would satisfy
anyone except someone who didn't want to provide the sources. I got
clearance from Cygnus's CEO to allow the greater flexibility. I
thought I was doing the community a favor by relaxing the Cygwin
license
Hey isn't there other non-GPL packages being distributed..
Hmm I have seen references to openssh..
