I have removed the package. (The phrase "no good deed goes unpunished"
comes to mind.)

I will put up a separate package later that does not contain any cygwin
binaries and write a script instead that can download the needed binaries
and sources using the cygwin setup tool (that the user will have to
download themselves). In this way I will be hosting no binaries and will
not be in violation of any license.
