X.org 为了保持可以被商业使用,是绝对不会使用 GPL 的,但它的许可证兼容 GPL。
About the X11R6.7.0 Release
The X.Org repository is based on XFree86 4.4 RC2. Just before its 4.4 release, XFree86 adopted a new license possibly incompatible with the GPL. For this reason, we have recreated its tree as closely as possible without importing files affected by the new license. The monolithic tree is being referred to as simply "XOrg".
X11R6.7.0 contains substantial updates beyond XFree86 4.4RC2, as mentioned in the X11R6.7.0 release notes, including updated versions of Render, Xft, and fontconfig, and a greatly improved Cygwin/X port.

关于 X11R6.7.0 的发布
X.Org 代码库基于 XFree86 4.4 RC2。就在 XFree86 4.4 发布之前,它采用了一个可能不兼容 GPL 的新协议。鉴于如此,我们重建了它的代码树,尽可能贴近(原始版本),并且没有引入受新许可证影响的文件。这个单一的代码树(整体)被简单地称为“XOrg”。
在 XFree86 4.4RC2 之外 X11R6.7.0 包含丰富的更新,正如在 X11R6.7.0 发行注记中提及的那样,包括更新版本的 Render,Xft,和 fontconfig,以及一个极大改善的 Cygwin/X 接口。 |
