I recall vaguely the GRX >guys couldn't change the MIT license of the fonts used from the older >release of X11. TOG owns X since MIT gave it to them. TOG establishes the licensing. Xfree86 uses what TOG puts out. As long as Xfree86 is happy with the licensing it will remain under the MIT license which is pretty BSDish. I suppose someone _could_ release their own GPLed X. In fact... I hereby announce the release of GPL X. Download it from Xfree86 but don't use it commercially. You can download the license from the FSF. If you have any questions contact someone else. This is truly a great advance for free softare. :) </quip> Catchya Later, | Give me UNIX or give me a typewriter.
