X11, Window Managers Yes it would be nice if X.org could use OpenGL directly for it's display and composition, but to date, nobody has made this possible. Is it wrong for a business to make it so? Since when does developing software for GNU products mean that they aren't allowed to do it privately? If Novell is developing XGL behind closed doors, and paying the developers to build it... Where's the problem?

What license is XGL under?

Member since:

What license is this XGL code under, and when it was previously released more openly what does the license allow?

I think the license may be under the XFree86 license but I can't find where it is explicitly stated though. What does this license allow?

Linux is really a XFree86/GNU/Linux system...
