To be precise, the text surrounding the link that you are referring to
says:
"For Cygwin licensing or commercial support, please visit the Red Hat
Cygwin Product site."
i.e., it is another site entirely from http://cygwin.com/ . The
reference is for a *commercial* release of Cygwin that is provided by
Red Hat. If you want to use the commercial software then you should be
contacting Red Hat directly.
OTOH, I sincerely doubt that you found any discussion of the cygwin net
release install procedure at the Red Hat site so if you found words
about installation at http://cygwin.com which you find confusing, you're
going to, again, have to provide a reference so that we can either fix
the words or clarify them for you.
