Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The folks that develop GATOS have agreed to relicense their software
under the MIT license[1]. This means that upstream will likely merge
this code into mainline Xorg.
A patch[2] already exists for 6.6.3. Another for 6.6.191[3], which
should be adaptable to 6.6.192, the current version in experimental.
I would appreciate patching 6.6.3, but understand if you want to keep
this patch out of testing/unstable.
Best regards,
Nathan A. Stine

I was having network problems and apparently my first try went through
even though reportbug said it didn't. My mistake. Please close this
report.
