We had to get legal approval for those before we included them in the
original cygwin net distribution.

As I said in other email, I haven't been paying as close attention as
I should have been for other encrypting packages.

We'll see if our legal staff has the cycles to deal with this issue now.
I'd hoped to avoid burning their time with cygwin issues but now it
can't be helped.
