Linux AGP GART module and intel AGP driver license?
Hi, everyone.
I am a developer at Tmaxsoft in Korea.
I have some quiestions about linux AGP module and intel AGP driver license.
As I know, Linux and FreeBSD AGP module are derived from Xfree86/MIT project.
And linux AGP GART source files include MIT lincense statements.
So, I think AGP module and intel AGP driver have MIT license. Is it right???
Thank you for your help.

MIT is a non copyleft free software license. This means that source under this license can be licensed under "stronger" terms if redistributed. Therefore such sources do not necessarily stay only MIT licensed.
Let's say the orginal program had been originally under MIT, but later it was incorporated into the kernel Linux, which is distributed under GPL version 2 only. If you obtain the AGP module's source code from the kernel, you are bound to _both_ licenses at the same time.
If you obtain the source directly from, say, XFree, then you only have to abide their license.Debian GNU/Linux -- You know you want it.
