There is no problem with the files per se. Just anyone distributing
cygwin files should make it clear that the user gets them under the
terms of the GPL and can get the source from the redistributor. IANAL,
but AIUI linking to the site isn't enough -- the redistributor himself
has to make the source of the exact version available directly.
