But, the URL you posted said:

"ChangeLog as per GNU standards."

However, it really doesn't matter.  I guess I'm just stuck in pedantic
mode from arguing copyright issues in mingw-dvlpr.  I do love doing that
so much.

Anyway, I say that Cygwin follows GNU standards, too, but my ChangeLog
entries have been known to contain a little exposition from time to
time.
