Licenses The X.Org Foundation November 2010 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Table of Contents Introduction X.Org Preferred License XFree86 License 1.0 Other Licenses X/MIT Copyrights Berkeley-based copyrights: SGI Free Software License B Bigelow & Holmes Inc and URW++ GmbH Luxi font license Introduction The X.Org Foundation X Window System distribution is a compilation of code and documentation from many sources. This document is intended primarily as a guide to the licenses used in the distribution: you must check each file and/or package for precise redistribution terms. None-the-less, this summary may be useful to many users. This document is based on the compilation from XFree86. If you find any errors or significant omissions in this document, please contact us with details at < xorg@lists.freedesktop.org>. Most of these licenses are based on the MIT, X Consortium, or BSD (original and revised) licenses. All of them are consistent with the Open Source Definition, and most are consistent with the Free Software Foundation's Free Software Definition. While the current licenses are all open source licenses, the X.Org Foundation is attempting, over time, to bring as much as possible of the code's licenses in the distribution into compliance with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. X.Org Preferred License The X.Org Foundation has chosen the following format of the MIT License as the preferred format for code included in the X Window System distribution. This is a slight variant of the common MIT license form published by the Open Source Initiative at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php.
