- egorfine 2mo agoomg, it's been over a decade since I have last used XQuartz. Did they finally open source the whole quartz-wm?
- throw0101d 2mo ago> An XQuartz installation consists of many individual pieces of software which have various licenses. The X.Org software components’ licenses are discussed on the X.Org Foundation Licenses page.[1] The quartz-wm[2] window manager included with the XQuartz distribution uses the Apple Public Source License Version 2.[3] * https://www.xquartz.org/index.html https://www.xquartz.org/index.html
- panzi 2mo agoJust looked it up, that Apple license is indeed approved as open source/free software by the FSF and OSI!
- throw0101d 2mo ago> FSF approved Yes (Version 2.0, not versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2)[2][3] > OSI approved Yes * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Public_Source_License https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Public_Source_License
