I have never seen how you can have it both ways, legally speaking.  I
was told not to worry about it when I was at Red Hat but no one ever
gave me a convincing explanation.  Since there are no assignments in
newlib land, it just relies on BSD-like licensing.  I don't see why
Cygwin can't do the same.
