Dear x.org ,
I represent a technology team at Cisco Systems, Inc. We are contacting you
regarding code copyrighted by you which we obtained from x.org, called
xorg-cf-files 1.0.2 11.el6, “Configuration File for Xorg' “ A member of the
development team intends to use this code for commercial purposes and we would
like to better understand its licensing terms.
Is there a license agreement for this code such that it can be used in
commercial software? Are you willing to release the code under the *"MIT"
license (also called the "X11" or "Expat" license)*, reproduced below?
It's called the "X11" license because it's the license we've used for the X11
software X.Org produces for over 25 years now. Did you even look at the license
already on the code?
