Regarding openssh 8.1p1-1 access

[Sudhanshu Bhutani]

One more approach - i was thinking was - can we package/include the
complete cygwin already [which already has older openssh version in bin
folder] installed folder to our tool exe without any modification?
Does it involve any violations for Cygwin GPLv3? Do we need to include
source code as well? Or can re-distributing an already created cygwin
folder can be done with freedom without any issues?
