That's a bit incomprehensible. Cygwin is Free Software. You can either
provide
a copy of Cygwin, or, probably more sensibly, point to where people
can get it.
If you are in a non-hobbyist environment, where people need to use
supported
software, you can obtain supported versions of Cygwin from Redhat.
Requiring people to obtain cygwin is no different from requiring them
to acquire any
other software they may require. After all you are requiring your
recipients
to get Windows if you are providing a windows compatible version.
