Ergo, if you buy such a product, you MUST NOT run any other software that
loads the cygwin1.dll, because either you would be making their product
load the GPL'd dll or your GPL software would be loading the license
restricted dll.

At least Big Blue thought at least this far and required you to rename and
trim out their C++ library DLLs for your products.
