Hello everyone, As some people here have noticed, SGI's update of the SGI Free License B is a really great contribution to free software, and it does a lot to help resolve this bug. Unfortunately, it's not a complete solution; there are still a few legal loose ends that need to be tied up. I'

Yes. The two remaining fles under GLX Public license are these: GL/glx/glxext.c hw/dmx/glxProxy/glxext.c Presumably they will also be relicensed, the question is how - SGI's press release doesn't mention this. I've emailed the FSF asking if they know the details. br Carsten -- xfree86: materi

That's incorrect. Version 1.1 says, "SGI may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time, each with a distinguishing version number. Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, Recipient may, for the duration of the license, continue
