omg, it's been over a decade since I have last used XQuartz. Did they finally open source the whole quartz-wm?

  > 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

    Just looked it up, that Apple license is indeed approved as open source/free software by the FSF and OSI!
