I'm not sure what the xorg-air package is, but if it's xorg+AIGLX then it SHOULD all be Free Software, but really, you'll only know that by grabbing the packages and looking at the license.
AIGLX was merged into Xorg as of 7.1, so it IS Free Software. Beryl itself is also Free Software. I'm assuming (though, here is the danger) that the patches in that repo are also Free Software themselves. As a side note, if you're familiar enough to do it, grabbing Beryl from CVS might actually be a bit more fun, often you get the latest features and the greatest visual effects.

I think that AIGLX must be under a BSD or MIT licence since that is what Xorg is. Am I wrong?

I have looked around the directory tree in that repo but I could not find anything that I recognized as non-free, however, I was unfamiliar with most of the items so even if there are non-free packages there I probably would not know. I am also having trouble finding what licence AIGLX uses. Any help is greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
