This is right, we intend to use the logo for our Cygwin DEV CD release,
but
we intend also to _suggest_ a voted logo to Cygnus officials to use it
for
the Cygwin Project. We do not claim that we _will_ use it for the
project, we
just want to _suggest_ it!

Of course, sorry for the impression.

Hereby we state that we are no part of the official Cygwin development
team
nor we claim any kind of official rights towards the development of the
Cygwin Project.

Of course, we respect the copyright of the Cygwin Project and hence we
would
like (as a part of contributing to the project) to _suggest_ a Cygwin
logo.
We do _not_ claim to select one without asking the official members at
Cygnus.

Best regards,
Stipe
