+The normal process of generating licenses for modular X packages is to run
+through all source files in an editor and copy all the copyright/license info
+into the license file. However, in the case of xorg-server, there are almost
+2000 source files. We're not paid enough to do that much work in a short
+period of time. ;)

+Upstream has stated that MIT is a good approximation. The only difference is
+that the code will contain a large amount of explicit copyrights from the
+various companies and individuals who have worked on this project. If you're
+interested, take a look at the source file of choice.
