I have a project "segin-utils" which is more a meta-project (it's an 
umbrella for multiple tiny projects that don't really warrant a separate 
project for themselves) 

segin-utils mostly serves the purpose of "free Subversion host", much like 
Code Hosting abusers create projects for random file hosting, except all 
code hosted is under one or another OSI-approved license, and is true 
source code. Binaries generally aren't provided.

However, I have built one project as a Windows binary. It's "matwm2", a X11 
window manager released under the MIT license. I have uploaded the Win32 
.exe, along with two different X11.dll files (which, as an X11 program, it 
would depend on). The reason for providing X11.dll is that it's quite a 
hard library to get ahold of. 

However, I don't have the source code for the X11.dll versions I am 
currently providing (neither in repo or in my possession elsewhere). Since 
libX11 is itself an open source library (as a part of X.org - latest source 
here: http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/src/lib/libX11-1.5.0.tar.gz), is it 
a violation to provide these binaries without providing the source to the 
particular versions I have? 

I've included my original location source for the binaries in their 
download descriptions. One was found in a Subversion repository along with 
a Windows port of ImageMagick, and the other with a Windows NT port of a 
very old shared source shareware X11 image viewer (xv).
