== Licensing ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Wayland is licensed with the intention to be usable anywhere X.org is.
|
||||||
|
Originally, X.org was covered under the MIT X11 license, but changed to
|
||||||
|
the MIT Expat license. Similarly, Wayland was covered initially as MIT
|
||||||
|
X11 licensed, but changed to the MIT Expat license, following in X.org's
|
||||||
|
footsteps. Other than wording, the two licenses are substantially the
|
||||||
|
same, with the exeption of a no-advertising clause in X11 not included
|
||||||
|
in Expat.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
New source code files should specify the MIT Expat license in their
|
||||||
|
boilerplate, as part of the copyright statement.
