It looks promising as the terms of the license are copied from the X11 license. http://oss.sgi.com/projects/FreeB/SGIFreeSWLicB.2.0.pdf. The build reproducibility is important. Various distros building X must do so from the same source code. Those building from tarballs expect the source code to be complete. One should be able to rebuild a 2 year old server with the same 2 year old gl spec. > Perhaps it would be better to simply remove these files, and I should just > create a package for cygwin containing these files, and then make that a > build-time requirement? > _______________________________________________ > [email protected]: X.Org development > Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel > Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
