Aaron, do you know if it would be possible to get them relicensed under a more MIT-like license, rather than the current more restrictive one? The COPYING file for xf86-video-nv doesn't actually carry the license from e.g. src/nv_setup.c.
Hi Julien,I'm pretty sure "license to use this code in individual and commercial software" was intended to include redistribution and modification. That said, the point is moot because I just replaced all of these with the stock MIT X11 boilerplate from the COPYING file. See commit 2fdcda8.
