If someone could respond via email to confirm the ECCN, then I can document the response for this program and identify it properly in our various tools/databases. Please let me know if you need assistance. Thank you in advance for your help.

Justin,

Cygwin is a rolling release system which is designed to be updated regularly to 
be compatible with any currently supported Windows (or Wine) releases.
Hundreds of serious security vulnerabilities have been fixed since 1.7.34:
194 update announcements since then have mentioned CVEs.
Cygwin has added supported for many Windows security features, deprecated and 
dropped or upgraded vulnerable packages and features, and added a lot of other 
newer standard security features since then; see:
