Thank you for clarification of patent issues.

Actually I have a system with a rather old cygwin
installation.  WindowMaker surely works fine on the
system.  In the old system WindowMaker is version
0.80.0-2 in contrast to the new system having version
0.80.2-1.  The old wmaker.exe is linked against
cygtiff3.dll.  Since their cygtiff3.dll are identical
in two systems the old wmaker.exe also works fine on
the new system.  I believe I have not recompiled any
TIFF packages.

For now I will not go further because I'm not using
WindowMaker.  It seems too hard for me to track down.
