Agreed. This being said, it might be possible to ask AMD to dual-license their code or to independently perform the same changes to the X driver, under a different license, which, as the authors, remains within their perogative. > I believe Martin-Éric is also currently in the process of clarifying > per-file licensing for Debian purposes. That's correct. So far, everything seems to be under the MIT license, except for autoconf files which include LGPL license headers. There's also two files with unspecified license and I'm in the process of trying to determine when they were created and by whom. If it was done by AMD people, I will simply copy the MIT header from other files.
