Discouraging comments at
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/xorg-docs/License.html :
"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."
So some are inconsistent with the FSF definition of a free license. But
which ones?
