Hi,

Would it be possible to incorporate Cygwin into computer lab images for 
computer labs at an educational institution for academic use by students?

Would the source have to be included too if it was included on each hard 
drive of a lab workstation?  (I'm talking about a pre-installed 
package--not a "setup" that students must run first.)

The FAQ mentions the full package itself is approximately 800MB--NOT 
INCLUDING the source code.  If I were required to include the source 
code (even if it's still tarred and g-zipped), then does anyone know how 
much space would that require?

Does anyone have any recommendations?   Is anyone currently doing this?

P.S.  If anyone knows about other pre-packaged Cygwin installations out 
there that is geared toward "academic institution" use (pre-selected 
packages, etc), then please let me know.  thanks.
