Protection mode: an inquiry

Just one question...  Is there a good reason why http://cygwin.com/1.7/ 
and below have their permission set to no access?  My memory is not so
good these days and I find directory searches are much easier than
remembering their full names.  Makes me wonder "What are you hiding."
