The X library source is not GPL. Likewise ncurses.
Stating that it is "effectively" GPL is at best misleading,

The word "effectively" might be misleading to you but it's correct from
the standpoint of the *user* of any of these libraries.
Since it would be just as easy to be accurate, I'll tend to treat
ambiguous and (sometimes intentionally) misleading remarks as what
they are: a nuisance.
