gccmakedep has no active maintainer. I am one of the X.Org developers who can
make changes to it when needed, but have no special knowledge of it.
To the best of my knowledge, gccmakedep was created by XFree86 and is thus
likely covered under the XFree86 1.0 license terms:
http://www.xfree86.org/legal/licenses.html
(X.Org has not knowingly included any code from XFree86 covered by the 1.1
license, only 1.0.)

sorry to bug you again but I just realized you are also the maintainer of
gccmakedep and we have the same issue with the COPYING file
(http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/gccmakedep/tree/COPYING). Can you please
confirm the licensing of the gccmakedep package?
Thank you v much,
Adrian

Dear x.org ,
I represent a technology team at Cisco Systems, Inc. We are contacting you
regarding code copyrighted by you which we obtained from x.org, called
gccmakedep 1.0.2 11.el6, “gccmakedep - create dependencies in makefiles using
'gcc -M' “ A member of the development team intends to use this code for
commercial purposes and we would like to better understand its licensing terms.
Is there a license agreement for this code such that it can be used in
commercial software? Are you willing to release the code under the *"MIT"
license (also called the "X11" or "Expat" license)*, reproduced below?
