Does anyone know what copyright and/or license, if any, applies to this
file?
The "copyright"-file of xorg-server includes a statement "XFree86 code
without an explicit copyright is covered by the following
copyright/license: ......" but I'm not sure if it applies to this
file, as this file isn't "XFree86 code" but a list of modelines.
I'm also a bit unsure about the fact that these modes have been taken
from some publication, but there is no mention of why it was allowed
to take them from that publication.
