Indeed.

Some of the files might be a bit mixed up and some others missing.
But steal if you wish. I have no claim to it as far as I'm concerned.

Its also a bit untested without a loader.

We solved the issue **in less than 24 hours**:

https://github.com/nomad-software/x11/blob/master/LICENSE

Most of the "code owners" agreed to change the license.
The list of pseudo has been really useful to ping everybody in one shot.
The Social Network aspect of Github has helped much i believe.

Cool! Very fast! I didn't believe it can be done.

DlangUI does not violate license anymore :)

Shouldn't the bindings be licensed identical to the actual library code? I mean the header license isn't as important as the actual code license. And I thought it was MIT license for X11?

The library code isn't being distributed, so I don't think it matters.

Technically no. You can let the user of the bindings do his own research and find out that libx11 really isn't Boost licensed, and that he has to pay careful attention to what the *actual* license for libX11 is. Note BTW, the C headers are included in the distribution, and those are NOT boost licensed. I'm not a lawyer, so I have no idea the compatibility implications between the two.

Or you could just inform the user of the discrepancy, and let him avoid wasted time. Or just license the same as the original library.

When I first read this change of license from GPL to Boost, I thought there was a significant problem here. But it's much more innocuous, since neither the real library is GPL nor the bindings need to be GPL. However, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to use boost rather than the X11 license.

In any case, consider this as somewhat of a warning -- try to license your bindings the same as the original library, or you may cause significant problems for your users unnecessarily.

Thanks for the heads up, they've now been removed.

That doesn't look like a very ethical program.
