It's not a similar situation at all: A blob driver does not provide any source -- use it or leave it; while here you do get the source under the usual permissive X license conditions. The tarball also provides a pregenerated parser with slightly restrictive license conditions for the boilerplate part, but you are perfectly free to generate one yourself with a different tool. Also note that any program compiled with gcc has similar conditions. -antrik- _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
