No. XFree86 will not incorporate any code which is not licensed to them under an X-compatible license. That doesn't prevent someone from providing a driver under a different license (very possibly including the XFree86 code under that license), but a driver not under an X license will not become part of XFree86. -andy (not speaking for XFree86) -- Andy Isaacson adisaacs@mtu.edu adi@acm.org Fight Spam, join CAUCE: http://www.csl.mtu.edu/~adisaacs/ http://www.cauce.org/
