Hi List,
Legal question (unfortunately): Am I allow to distribute X11
libraries? I think the answer is yes, because X11 is open source. But
I don't know the details of this, nor if the Apple X11 libraries are
under a different license, etc.
I am distributing a program that relies on some X11 libraries. We
assume the people installing this do not have, nor want, X11
installed. They say its a liability to provide shell access, and they
remove Terminal also.
The program is hard-linked to the following libraries in:
/usr/X11R6/lib/
libExt.6.dylib -> libExt.6.4.dylib
libGL.1.dylib -> libGL.1.2.dylib
libICE.6.dylib -> libICE.6.3.dylib
libSM.6.dylib -> libSM.6.0.dylib
libX11.6.dylib -> libX11.6.2.dylib
libXext.6.dylib -> libXext.6.4.dylib
libXp.6.dylib -> libXp.6.2.dylib
libXpm.4.dylib -> libXpm.4.11.dylib
libXt.6.dylib -> libXt.6.0.dylib
I would like to have my installer install these programs. Is this
acceptable? If yes, great. If not, do I need to talk to someone in the
X consortium, or someone at Apple?
Thanks for your help,
-k.
