I'm a bit surprised.  Cygwin is an Open Source project just like
syslog-ng.  You don't need a license, unless you try to link a
proprietary project to the Cygwin DLL.  See
http://cygwin.com/licensing.html

Just start here: http://cygwin.com/ and run the setup.exe tool from the
homepage to install the Cygwin net distro with all the latest tools
available.  For the User's Guide, see
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html

There's also a bunch of mailing lists, see http://cygwi.com/lists.html.
The cygwin AT cygwin DOT com  mailing list is the central point of
contact.

If you really need a commercial license for a proprietary project,
just contact me off-list.
